Your doctor can easily treat skin cysts. Options include:
- Draining the cyst. The doctor cuts the cyst and pushes out the gunk inside. Cysts can still return after this.
- Injecting medicine into the cyst to reduce swelling if it’s tender, swollen or growing,
- Removing it by minor surgery to take out the entire cyst wall. This usually keeps them from coming back.
- Laser removal.
