Sebaceous Cyst
Overview
Sebaceous cysts are non-cancerous, fluid-filled lumps that develop beneath the skin when a sebaceous gland or hair follicle becomes blocked. These irregularities are often unwanted, and typically appear as smooth, round bumps beneath the skin. They can develop anywhere, but commonly affect the face, neck, scalp, or upper body.
Sebaceous cysts may range in size from a pea to several centimetres and sometimes have a central opening, from which a thick, yellowish substance can be released.
Sebaceous cysts are caused by clogged sebaceous glands, trauma to the skin, or genetic factors. While usually painless, they can grow larger, become tender, or develop infections, leading to redness, swelling, and discomfort. Squeezing or attempting to remove a cyst at home increases the risk of infection and scarring, making professional treatment essential.
Affects of Sebaceous Cyst
If you have a sebaceous cyst that is growing, causing discomfort, or affecting your confidence, our London skin clinic provides safe, professional removal for clear, healthy skin.
At Binsina Skin & Laser Clinic in London, our advanced treatments for sebaceous cysts include cauterisation or excision. Cauterisation is usually ideal for smaller cysts, especially in delicate areas like the face or eyelids, with excision being more suitable for larger cysts. These minimally invasive procedures are effective for cosmetic concerns, offering little to no downtime. Regardless of your cyst’s size or location, our skin experts tailor treatments to preserve your skin’s natural beauty while achieving impressive results.
