What is a cyst?
Cysts are very common, and there are many different types of cysts. They are often benign lesions that consist of fluid or semi-fluid material surrounded by tissue, and completely harmless.
While many cysts pose no threat to your health, it is important to understand the different types of cysts and seek professional advice for their removal.
COMMON TYPES OF CYSTS
- Epidermoid Cysts
These develop when skin cells that normally shed on the surface become trapped beneath the skin, usually due to a blocked pore. They often appear as lumps and may contain a cheesy substance.
- Milia
These are tiny, white bumps that often appear on the face, especially around the eyes and cheeks. They are caused by a blockage of the skin’s pores, leading to a buildup of keratin.
- Pilar Cysts
These often develop slowly from hair follicles on the scalp or other hair bearing skin. They can become painful or caught when combing or styling hair.
- Acne Cyst
An acne cyst is a large, painful, lump that forms deep under the skin when pores become blocked with oil, dead skin, and bacteria. Unlike regular spots, acne cysts are swollen and can cause scarring if not treated properly.

How are Cysts Diagnosed?
DermConsult consultants can often diagnose cysts through careful evaluation of their appearance and your personal medical history, providing one of the most comprehensive services among all London private cyst removal providers.
We are committed to performing detailed investigations, if necessary, to rule out other skin conditions and give you the confidence and peace of mind you deserve.
This will always involve a physical examination – your dermatologist will take a look at the cyst, and note its size, shape, color, and location. They will also ask about any symptoms, such as pain or discomfort.
In some cases, a small sample of the cyst may be removed for microscopic examination. We will walk you through each step of the process so you know what to expect and you are comfortable whilst we confirm the diagnosis and determine the type of cyst.

How are Cysts Treated?
At DermConsult, our experienced dermatologists offer a range of effective treatment options for cysts.
The treatment for a cyst depends on its type, size, location and patient preference. While some cysts may resolve on their own, others may require medical intervention.
COMMON DERMATOLOGIST CYST REMOVAL OPTIONS
Smaller, asymptomatic cysts may not require any treatment, and simply need to be observed and monitored over time. However, there are three key ways your cyst can be removed:
Injection
Inflamed cysts can be directly injected with steroids. This will lead to shrinkage of the cyst and will help to calm down the inflammation. Sometimes this treatment is enough for the cyst to resolve. This is especially helpful for large acne cysts
Drainage
For infected cysts, drainage may be necessary to relieve pressure and prevent further infection. However, this is often a temporary solution, as the cyst may reoccur.
Surgical Excision
Surgical removal is the most effective way to eliminate a cyst permanently. A dermatologist will aim to carefully remove the entire cyst, including its capsule, to minimize the risk of recurrence.
Regardless of what type of cyst removal you need, we always aim for techniques to guarantee as little scarring and discomfort as possible, so you can enjoy a comfortable experience.

AFTERCARE AT DERMCONSULT’S CYST REMOVAL LONDON AND UK CLINICS
After your cyst removal procedure, proper aftercare is essential to ensure optimal healing and minimise scarring.
We will support you from start to finish, but we take aftercare as seriously as the diagnosis and treatment. It is key to keeping you safe, healthy, and most importantly, happy.
Here is what you can expect during the recovery process with DermConsult’s dermatologist cyst removal.
Immediate Post-Procedure:
- Bandaging: Your dermatologist will apply a sterile bandage to the treated area to protect it from infection.
- Pain Management: You may experience some discomfort or mild pain, which can be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers.
Home Care:
- Keep it Clean and Dry: Keep the wound clean and dry for 2 days. Avoid soaking the area in water and pat it dry gently with a clean towel.
- Avoid Sun Exposure: Protect the healing area from direct sunlight to prevent further skin damage. Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with 50+ SPF.
- Limit Physical Activity: For the first few days, avoid strenuous activities that may put stress on the healing wound.
- Follow Up: Attend all scheduled follow-up appointments with your dermatologist to monitor the healing process and address any concerns.
