Sebaceous cysts are non-cancerous, slow-developing lumps caused by blocked oil glands. They commonly form on the face, neck, back, or chest and are usually painless, though some may discharge a thick, unpleasant-smelling material.

We provide specialist private treatment for sebaceous cysts, serving Stirling and Forth Valley patients from our Edinburgh-based clinic. Our expert-led approach is tailored to each individual, ensuring precise removal with a focus on achieving the best cosmetic results.
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. Learn more about various mole treatment options in our comprehensive guide on cysts. We also provide detailed aftercare instructions and follow-up appointments to support proper healing and patient satisfaction.
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.
