Cyst Removal
Sebaceous cysts (epidermoid cysts) are closed sacs beneath the skin containing accumulated keratin protein and cheesy sebum. They are commonly found on the face, neck, scalp, chest, and back. If squeezed or punctured, they frequently become inflamed, painful, and infected, developing into an abscess.
Dr. Majethiya Jalpesh performs precise surgical cyst excision, ensuring the cyst wall (capsule) is extracted entirely intact. This prevents rupture of cyst contents and guarantees that the cyst will never return.

Frequently Asked Questions
Squeezing only expels the accumulated keratin; the outer sac (capsule) remains intact inside the skin and refills. The cyst only permanently disappears when the entire sac is surgically removed.
If an infected cyst has turned into an abscess, it must first be drained and treated with antibiotics. Once the acute inflammation settles, the remaining capsule is excised to prevent recurrence.
The procedure is performed under local anesthesia and takes about 15 to 20 minutes with zero downtime.
