Understanding Sebaceous Cyst Surgery

A sebaceous (epidermoid) cyst is a smooth lump under the skin filled with keratin, with a tiny central pore. They are common on the scalp, face, neck, back and groin, and are harmless but can become inflamed or infected.

The definitive treatment is complete surgical removal of the cyst along with its wall (capsule), under local anaesthesia — leaving the capsule behind is the main reason cysts recur.

Common Symptoms

If you have one or more of these, it's worth speaking to a specialist.

A round, movable lump under the skin
A small dark punctum (pore) on the surface
Occasional discharge of thick, cheesy material with a strong smell
The lump becoming red, swollen and painful if infected
Slow growth over time
A cyst in a spot that catches on clothing or a razor

Our specialists use the latest minimally invasive techniques wherever possible — smaller incisions, less bleeding and a faster return to daily life.

Every patient has a full pre-surgical evaluation to decide the most effective approach, and a multidisciplinary team supports your health before, during and after the procedure.

Frequently Asked Questions

Draining an infected cyst relieves pressure but the cyst wall remains and it almost always refills. Complete removal of the wall is what prevents recurrence.

A few words from patients whose treatment was coordinated through Ayushman Surgicare.

“The chest thing had bothered me since school. The gynecomastia surgery was day-care, the scars are tiny, and for the first time I'm comfortable at the pool.”
