What is Cysts ?

A cyst is a closed sac-like structure filled with fluid, pus, or other material. It can form anywhere in the body — on the skin, under the skin, or inside internal organs. Most cysts are non-cancerous (benign) and painless, but some may grow large, become infected, or cause discomfort, requiring medical attention.
If you notice an unusual lump or have discomfort from a cyst, don’t ignore it. Early diagnosis and care can prevent complications. Contact us today to schedule an appointment and get expert advice tailored to your needs.

Common Types of Cysts

  • Sebaceous Cysts – Form under the skin, often on the scalp, face, or back.
  • Epidermoid Cysts – Small, slow-growing lumps beneath the skin surface.
  • Pilonidal Cysts – Occur near the tailbone, often containing hair and skin debris.
  • Ovarian Cysts – Develop on or in the ovaries; common in women of childbearing age.
  • Baker’s Cysts – Fluid-filled swelling behind the knee, usually due to joint problems.
  • Ganglion Cysts – Found near joints or tendons, commonly in the wrist or hand.
  • Breast Cysts – Fluid-filled sacs in the breast tissue, often related to hormonal changes.

Causes of Cysts

Cysts can develop due to various reasons, including:

  • Infections
  • Blocked glands or ducts
  • Injuries
  • Genetic conditions
  • Inflammatory diseases

Symptoms

  • A visible lump or swelling
  • Pain or tenderness (if infected or inflamed)
  • Redness or warmth over the area
  • Restricted movement (for cysts near joints)
  • No symptoms at all in many cases

Diagnosis

Cysts are usually diagnosed through:

  • Physical examination
  • Ultrasound or MRI scan
  • Biopsy (if needed, to rule out other conditions)

Treatment Options

Not all cysts need treatment. However, if a cyst is painful, infected, or growing, treatment may include:

  • Drainage – Fluid is removed with a needle or small incision.
  • Medications – Antibiotics for infected cysts.
  • Surgical Removal – Permanent solution to prevent recurrence.
  • Laser Therapy – In some cases, lasers are used for cosmetic removal.
