Sebaceous cysts are common, non-cancerous lumps that develop when sebaceous glands become blocked, typically appearing on the face, neck, or torso. These cysts often grow slowly and are painless, though they can sometimes discharge a greyish-white, foul-smelling material. Learn more about cysts in our detailed guide on cyst removal.

We offer specialist private treatment for sebaceous cysts, serving Fife patients from our Edinburgh-based clinic. Our expert-led approach is tailored to each individual, ensuring both effective removal and consideration of cosmetic outcomes.
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.
Specialist consultations are £125 and include a detailed, in-person assessment with our consultant plastic surgeon.
Treatment fees vary based on the nature and complexity of the procedure. A guide to typical pricing can be found on our pricing page.
If preferred, you may submit a quick online enquiry to receive an all-inclusive treatment estimate prior to committing to a consultation. We will respond promptly with tailored guidance.
