Dermatological cysts are common growths that develop just below the skin. Although cysts by nature are benign and not cancerous, they can often cause discomfort, irritation, infection or cosmetic concerns necessitating their removal. At Dynasty Dermatology, we provide safe, effective, and minimally invasive cyst excision in Pasadena, CA to restore your skin’s health and appearance while eliminating the discomfort the cyst may be causing. Whether you’re dealing with a sebaceous cyst, epidermoid cyst, or pilar cyst, our dermatology team has the expertise to deliver lasting results.

Safe, Effective Surgical Removal of Skin Cysts

At Dynasty Dermatology, our providers specialize in minor skin surgery and outpatient cyst removal, ensuring your procedure is effective, safe, and comfortable.

While some cysts may shrink or temporarily improve with home remedies or drainage, they often recur without complete removal. Cyst excision, performed by our skilled dermatology specialists, is the most reliable way to permanently eliminate the cyst and reduce the chance of recurrence.

Types of Cysts We Treat

Dynasty Dermatology offers professional cyst excision in Pasadena, CA, for a variety of skin cysts, including:

• Sebaceous cysts – slow growing cysts that form just under the skin. They often contain keratin, lipid, and other skin particles.
  
• Epidermoid cysts – small, slow-growing cysts often found on the face, neck, or trunk. They have a characteristic black head plugging the opening of the cyst and they may leak a yellow, cheesy substance. They have a characteristic black head plugging the central opening that is often visible. A thick, smelly, cheesy substance may leak from an epidermoid cyst.
  
• Pilar cysts – also known as trichilemmal cysts, these firm cysts commonly appear on the scalp since they form from hair follicles and typically contain keratin, the protein found in hair.
  
• Inflamed or infected cysts – any any cyst that becomes red, painful, or swollen due to irritation or the contamination of bacteria that typically reside on the skin.

Each cyst is evaluated individually to determine whether cyst excision is the best option for your skin.

What to Expect During Cyst Excision

Our cyst removal surgeries are performed in-office under local anesthesia. One of dermatology experts will clean the skin and then with sterile equipment, will numb the skin and surrounding tissue. Once the area is numb, they will make a small incision and carefully remove the cyst sac and all the contents. This precise approach ensures the entire cyst is removed, lowering the risk of recurrence.

Patients typically experience minimal downtime, and most return to normal activities right after the procedure. Our team provides detailed aftercare instructions to support a smooth recovery.

Cyst Drainage vs. Cyst Excision

It’s important to understand the difference between drainage and excision. Cyst drainage may provide temporary relief but often leaves the cyst wall intact, leading to regrowth. Cyst excision, on the other hand, removes the entire cyst, making it the most effective long-term solution.
