Cyst Removal

Cysts are sacs that can form in the skin. These sacs can contain various things including puss, blood, gases, or watery-like fluid.

While cysts are usually benign and usually asymptomatic, they can be uncomfortable for people because they are painful. They also can rupture and do other harmful effects that are best avoided.

Here at the Center for Dermatology, Laser and Cosmetic surgery, Dr. Harold F. Farber M.D. has 30 years of experience at removing cysts using a variety of techniques. For smaller cysts, aspiration is a common method where a needle is inserted into the cyst and the contents within are drained out. Dr. Harold F. Farber, M.D.s have a trick that can virtually leave no scar while removing the cyst.

Larger cysts usually involve numbing the skin around the cyst and surgically cut and remove the cyst with a scalpel. There are other options as well that you can discuss at the Center for Dermatology, Laser and Cosmetic Surgery with Dr. Harold F. Farber M.D.
