Cyst
A cyst is a closed pocket of tissue under the skin. Removal may be recommended if it becomes painful, infected, enlarged, or keeps coming back.
About cysts
A cyst is a lump or sac that can form under the skin or within soft tissue. It may feel firm or movable and can vary in size.
A cyst may need removal if it becomes painful, infected, irritated, grows larger, or causes cosmetic or functional concerns. Dr. Talbert removes the entire cyst wall when possible to reduce the chance of recurrence.
