Cysts

Cysts are benign, fluid- or keratin-filled growths that develop within or below the skin. Common types include epidermal inclusion cysts, sebaceous cysts, and pilar cysts. While they are usually harmless, cysts can become uncomfortable, inflamed, or infected if left untreated. It is important not to drain or manipulate cysts at home, as this can increase the risk of infection.

Dr. Adam Nabatian, a double board-certified dermatologist, can evaluate your cyst and determine if treatment or removal is necessary. When appropriate, he performs precise surgical excision to remove the cyst safely and minimize scarring.

Adults and children with cysts can receive expert evaluation and, if needed, removal. Schedule a consultation to discuss your options.
