Cyst Treatment and Removal
Cyst Treatment and Removal in Miami, FL
What Are Cysts?
Cysts are sac-like pockets of membranous tissue that contain fluid, air, or other substances. They can appear anywhere on or under the skin and vary in size. Most are benign, meaning they are noncancerous. Common cysts on the skin usually appear as small, round, white or yellow bumps often caused by blocked oil glands. They frequently develop on the face, neck, back, or torso.
If a cyst becomes infected, it may feel tender, turn red, and produce a thick yellow discharge. If you notice such symptoms or suspect you have a cyst, scheduling a consultation with a dermatologist is important for proper diagnosis and treatment.
Causes of Cysts
Cysts are common and may develop due to many factors, including:
-
Blocked sebaceous glands or hair follicles
-
Infections
-
Tumors or genetic conditions
-
Chronic inflammatory diseases
-
Parasites or duct blockages that cause fluid buildup
They generally don’t cause pain unless they rupture, become infected, or are inflamed.
Treatment Options at Miami Cosmetic Dermatology
The treatment approach depends on the cyst’s type, size, location, and symptoms. Options include:
-
Surgical removal: Recommended for large or symptomatic cysts
-
Drainage or aspiration: A needle or catheter may be used to drain fluid, sometimes guided by imaging
-
Biopsy: If malignancy is suspected, removed tissue or fluid is tested to rule out cancer
-
Management of underlying conditions: For cysts related to chronic diseases, treatment focuses on the root cause
Our dermatologists carefully evaluate each case to provide the safest and most effective treatment tailored to your needs.
