Surgical removal of sebaceous cysts

Although sebaceous cysts are benign skin lesions, they are often a source of dissatisfaction and discomfort for aesthetic reasons. They are small lumps that most often appear on the surface of the skin and are usually skin-coloured. Although they are not usually dangerous to health, they can cause some discomfort, especially when they appear in visible places such as the face, neck or chest. They can also become infected or irritated, which leads to pain and additional discomfort. Fortunately, thanks to modern medicine, sebaceous cysts can be removed effectively and safely.

Important information

Before sebaceous cyst removal, every patient has a detailed consultation, during which we assess the condition of the skin and discuss expectations and possible results.
Every removed sebaceous cyst undergoes histopathological examination to make sure that it is harmless.
After the procedure, the site of the cyst may be slightly red and swollen, but these symptoms usually resolve on their own after a few days.
After the procedure, it is advisable to limit exposure to sunlight and use high-protection UV sunscreen to prevent scarring.
Regular follow-up visits are key to monitoring the healing process and preventing new sebaceous cysts from forming.

Sebaceous cysts and other skin lesions (lipomas, tumours)

Although sebaceous cysts are often confused with other skin lesions, such as lipomas or some benign tumours, they have specific features that distinguish them. Lipomas develop within the subcutaneous tissue and are usually larger than sebaceous cysts. They can appear anywhere on the body, but most often occur on the trunk, neck and limbs. Skin tumours, on the other hand, unlike sebaceous cysts and lipomas, can be malignant and require immediate medical intervention. All of these skin lesions require a professional diagnosis and, if necessary, surgical treatment.

Surgical removal of lipomas, like that of sebaceous cysts, is performed under local anaesthesia, and the course of the procedure is very similar. In addition to sebaceous cyst removal, MM Clinic also offers surgical lipoma removal. Our clinic's specialists have state-of-the-art equipment and technology that allow precise excision of the lesion and ensure satisfactory results.

After the procedure – how to care for the wound after sebaceous cyst excision?

After sebaceous cyst removal, speeding up the healing process is key. Although most sebaceous cysts do not cause serious problems after the procedure, there is a risk of the cyst recurring, especially if it has not been removed completely. In that case, repeat surgical removal of the cyst may be necessary.

After sebaceous cyst removal, appropriate care is key to speeding up healing and minimising the risk of complications. Below we present several steps worth taking after surgical removal of a sebaceous cyst.

Hygiene

The site of the cyst should be kept clean. Daily washing with a mild, unperfumed soap and warm water is recommended. Do not apply cosmetics to the area around the wound for the first few days after the procedure.

Wound care

After the skin is incised and the sebaceous cyst removed, the wound is closed with stitches, which usually dissolve on their own after some time. After the procedure, the wound should be checked regularly for signs of infection, such as redness, swelling, tenderness or discharge.

Foot warts (common warts)

Regular follow-up visits to the doctor are key to monitoring the healing process and preventing new sebaceous cysts from forming.

Sun protection

Avoid sun exposure and use creams with a high UV filter to minimise the risk of scarring.

Reporting problems

If any worrying symptoms appear after the procedure, report them to your doctor. Such symptoms may include severe pain, signs of infection, swelling, fever, problems with wound healing or recurrence of the sebaceous cyst.

What are sebaceous cysts?

Sebaceous cysts, also known as epidermoid cysts, are benign skin lumps that develop under the epidermis. Sebaceous cysts form as a result of skin cells accumulating in places such as hair follicles or sebaceous glands. They have a typical rounded shape, are smooth to the touch and are usually skin-coloured or slightly lighter. Their size is not constant – it can range from a few millimetres to several centimetres in diameter. Although they do not pose a threat to health, they are often unwanted for aesthetic reasons, especially when they appear in visible places such as the face, neck or chest.

Causes of sebaceous cysts

The causes of sebaceous cysts are not fully understood. Many specialists suggest that their formation may be influenced by factors such as genetics, the use of cosmetics that block the openings of the sebaceous glands, or the attraction of intercellular fluids. Undoubtedly, within the subcutaneous tissue there is a small blood vessel that may play a role in the formation of sebaceous cysts.

Surgical treatment of sebaceous cysts

At our clinic, we offer several methods of sebaceous cyst removal, including surgical removal, laser removal with a fractional laser and removal with liquid nitrogen. The choice of method depends on many factors, including the size and location of the cyst.

Surgical removal of a sebaceous cyst

Surgical removal of a sebaceous cyst is the safest method. The procedure is performed under local anaesthesia by a general surgeon. It involves an incision in the skin over the cyst and thorough removal of the lesion. After the cyst has been removed, the incision is closed with stitches, which are removed after about a week. Although surgical removal of sebaceous cysts is a relatively simple procedure, you should see a doctor after the procedure if worrying symptoms appear, such as a secondary infection of the lesion or a lack of bleeding.

Laser removal of a sebaceous cyst

One alternative to surgical removal of sebaceous cysts is laser removal with a fractional laser. This procedure is quick, safe and effective. It is an ideal option for people who want to remove a sebaceous cyst quickly and effectively, with minimal risk of complications.

Removal of a sebaceous cyst with liquid nitrogen

Removing a sebaceous cyst with liquid nitrogen is an innovative method that involves freezing and destroying the epidermal cells that form the cyst. This type of therapy is particularly effective for smaller sebaceous cysts.

Treatment of sebaceous cysts

Although sebaceous cysts are not dangerous, they can cause discomfort, especially when they appear on visible parts of the body such as the face. That is why it is important to make a decision about surgical treatment. Sebaceous cyst removal is usually a short and painless procedure that requires local anaesthesia. If sebaceous cysts reach a considerable size, general anaesthesia may be necessary.
