Cysts are fluid-filled lumps under the skin and they can be soft to touch or firm. The fluid in the cyst can be yellow or white. Sometimes you can notice a small dark plug like a blackhead or blocked hair follicle on the cyst.
They are caused because some cells in the skin produce a protein called keratin which usually shed with dead skin cells but sometimes these cells multiply deeper in your skin and form a sac and they start secrete keratin into the middle of the sac, which forms a thick, yellow paste.
Cysts are usually harmless and painless and they develop slowly. If they become large, they can become uncomfortable. If they are painful, they can be infected. Cyst removal must be performed by a qualified and trained medical professional to ensure safe removal, prevent infection and scarring and detect any cellular abnormalities.
Cyst removals are considered a minor operation. Bodyvie works closely with The Doctor’s Laboratory when histology must be completed in the case of abnormalities to analyze any suspicious cells to ensure your safety.
