Cyst Removal.
Cysts are encapsulated growths beneath the skin that will not resolve on their own. At Modern Dermatology, we perform complete surgical excisions that remove the entire cyst wall, preventing recurrence.
Complete Capsule Removal.
Unlike drainage alone, which provides only temporary relief, our approach involves removing the entire cyst capsule. This is the only way to prevent recurrence. Our board-certified surgeons perform these procedures under local anesthesia with cosmetic surgery closure techniques to minimize scarring.
Epidermal Cysts
The most common type. A keratin-filled sac that grows slowly beneath the skin. Complete excision prevents recurrence.
Pilar Cysts
Found primarily on the scalp. These smooth, firm cysts are easily removed through a small incision with excellent cosmetic results.
Inflamed Cysts
When a cyst becomes infected or ruptures internally, it requires immediate treatment. We may drain first, then excise once inflammation resolves.

Frequently Asked.
Can a cyst go away on its own?
No. Cysts are enclosed by a capsule that must be surgically removed to prevent regrowth. They may fluctuate in size but will not resolve spontaneously.
Is cyst removal painful?
No. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia. You will be completely numb during the excision.
Will the cyst come back after removal?
When the entire capsule is removed, recurrence is rare. Incomplete removal (drainage only) has a high recurrence rate.
How long is the recovery?
Most patients return to activity immediately. Sutures are removed in 7-14 days depending on the location and size.
