We provide a range of treatment options for sebaceous cysts, tailored to each patient’s unique needs. Our approach ensures both symptom relief and attention to cosmetic concerns.
For small, symptom-free cysts, we may recommend monitoring for any changes rather than immediate treatment.
This procedure offers quick relief for painful, swollen cysts by draining the contents. However, as the cyst sac remains, there's a higher chance of recurrence.
For a more permanent solution, the entire cyst, including its sac, is surgically removed, greatly reducing the likelihood of recurrence. This is performed under local anaesthesia.
If the cyst is infected, antibiotics may be prescribed to treat the infection, although this won’t remove the cyst itself.
We ensure patients are fully informed and involved in choosing the best treatment option, taking into account factors like the cyst’s size, location, and the patient’s preferences. We also provide detailed aftercare instructions and follow-up appointments to support proper healing and patient satisfaction.

A cyst is a closed, sac-like structure that can develop anywhere in the body. It’s typically filled with fluid, pus, or other material and can form due to blockages, infections, or other causes.
This depends on the size of the cyst and how many you have. Prices begin at £895 for cysts under 2cm with each additional cyst removed costing £100.
Cysts often form when a gland becomes blocked or due to trauma, infection, or underlying conditions. Epidermal and sebaceous cysts are common types caused by the accumulation of keratin or sebum under the skin.
Treatment options for cysts include observation, incision and drainage, surgical excision, and antibiotics for infected cysts. The choice depends on the size, symptoms, and patient preference.
Excision is the most effective option to completely remove the cyst sac and prevent recurrence.
No, it is not recommended to pop a cyst as it can lead to infection, scarring, or incomplete removal. Always seek professional medical advice for safe and effective treatment.
If a cyst becomes red, swollen, painful, or starts draining, it could be infected. Seek medical attention promptly in such cases.
