CYST TREATMENT
Cysts are often treatable. Though many do not cause pain or discomfort, they can become troublesome over time. They may be in an uncomfortable area of the body where they are constantly rubbed against skin or clothing. They may be a cosmetic issue, or they may even become infected and inflamed. Cysts can also rupture. Many patients come to Integrated Dermatology to have these cysts examined and addressed. The most common treatment option for cysts is drainage. If infected, the doctor may also suggest an injection or application of warm compresses to help shrink the remaining cyst. When cysts are stubborn and do not change with treatment, they can be surgically removed if necessary.
About Cysts
Cysts are a common concern that can often be effectively treated. While some remain painless and harmless, others may cause issues over time. They can form in areas prone to friction from clothing or skin, leading to discomfort. For many, cysts are also a cosmetic concern or become problematic when they become inflamed, infected, or rupture.
At Integrated Dermatology, we provide expert care to examine and treat cysts. Initial treatment often involves drainage to relieve discomfort and reduce the cyst’s size. If the cyst is infected, the doctor may recommend an injection or the use of warm compresses to aid in healing. For more persistent cysts that do not respond to these measures, surgical removal may be a necessary option.
If you’re dealing with a troublesome cyst, don’t hesitate to schedule a consultation. Our team is here to provide the best care tailored to your needs.
