What Is a Cyst?

A cyst is a noncancerous, closed pocket of tissue filled with fluid, pus, or other material. They often feel like firm lumps under the skin and can appear anywhere on the body. While not always medically necessary to remove, cysts are commonly treated for comfort or cosmetic reasons.

Types of Cysts We Treat:

  • Epidermal cysts
  • Sebaceous cysts (formed from blocked sebaceous glands)
  • Acne cysts (deep pus-filled bumps)
  • Pilar cysts (firm bumps typically on the scalp)

Frequently Asked Questions

Not necessarily. But the size and visibility of any scar depend on the cyst type, size, and location, as well as your skin’s natural healing.

Not really because local anesthesia is used, so the procedure is generally comfortable. You may feel mild pressure, and some tenderness can occur during the healing process but we do our best to keep you comfortable throughout the procedure.


Recovery varies depending on the procedure, but most patients return to normal activities quickly.

Cyst removal should never be attempted at home. Trying to drain or excise a cyst yourself can lead to infection, scarring, or incomplete removal. At Oakville Skin, our trained specialists safely remove cysts using precise techniques, ensuring effective results and minimal downtime.
