What should I know?
Skin cysts are enclosed sacs beneath the skin. They may become tender, inflamed or infected.
How does treatment work?
The clinician assesses the lump and discusses whether removal is suitable. When surgery is appropriate, local anaesthetic is commonly used and stitches may be required.
What about recovery?
Healing varies depending on the procedure, the area treated and individual factors. Your clinician should explain expected downtime, wound care, scarring, potential complications and follow-up before treatment.
Common questions
Will it hurt?
Many minor surgical procedures use local anaesthetic. Your clinician can explain what to expect for the treatment recommended.
Will there be a scar?
Any procedure that cuts the skin may leave a scar. Appearance and healing vary.
How much will it cost?
Cyst Removal starts from £395. The final cost is confirmed following your assessment, and any additional charges, where applicable, are explained before treatment. See our Prices page for consultation fees.
