What Is a Cyst?
A cyst is a closed sac beneath the skin that contains fluid, keratin, pus or other material. While many cysts are harmless, they can become uncomfortable, infected or increasingly noticeable over time. Cysts can develop almost anywhere on the body, including the scalp, face, neck, back, chest and other areas where hair follicles and skin glands are present.
Many patients seek cyst removal because the lump continues to grow, becomes painful, catches on clothing, repeatedly becomes inflamed or affects confidence in their appearance. Although some cysts remain stable for years, others can become infected and require medical attention.
At AL Aesthetics, Dr Ash Labib provides consultant-led cyst removal procedures in Solihull for patients throughout Birmingham and the West Midlands. Every treatment begins with a thorough assessment to confirm the diagnosis and determine the most appropriate treatment approach.
Types of Cysts We Commonly Remove
Epidermoid Cysts
Epidermoid cysts are among the most common types of skin cysts. They form when skin cells become trapped beneath the skin surface and continue producing keratin. These cysts often appear on the face, neck, back and torso.
Pilar Cysts
Pilar cysts commonly develop on the scalp and arise from hair follicles. They are usually smooth, firm and slow-growing. While generally harmless, many patients choose removal due to discomfort or cosmetic concerns.
Sebaceous Cysts
Although the term "sebaceous cyst" is commonly used, many cysts referred to by this name are actually epidermoid cysts. These lumps may develop when glands or hair follicles become blocked.
Inflamed or Infected Cysts
Some cysts can become red, swollen, tender or infected. In these cases, removal may be recommended once inflammation has settled to reduce the risk of recurrence.
Recurrent Cysts
Cysts that repeatedly return after drainage or incomplete treatment often benefit from complete surgical removal, including removal of the cyst wall.
When Should a Cyst Be Removed?
Not every cyst requires treatment. However, removal may be recommended if:
- The cyst continues to increase in size
- It becomes painful or uncomfortable
- It repeatedly becomes infected
- It catches on clothing or jewellery
- It affects your confidence or appearance
- It interferes with daily activities
- The diagnosis needs confirmation
During your consultation, Dr Ash Labib will assess the cyst and discuss whether removal is the most appropriate option.
Many patients are surprised by how straightforward cyst removal can be.
Consultation and Assessment
Your appointment begins with a detailed assessment of the cyst, your medical history and your treatment goals.
Local Anaesthetic
The area is carefully numbed using local anaesthetic to maximise comfort throughout the procedure
Surgical Removal
A small incision is made to allow complete removal of the cyst and its surrounding capsule. Removing the cyst wall is important to reduce the likelihood of recurrence.
Wound Closure
The skin is closed using appropriate sutures and a dressing is applied.
Aftercare Advice
You will receive personalised aftercare instructions and information regarding wound care and healing.
Most patients return home shortly after treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are cysts dangerous? What causes cysts?
Most cysts are benign and noncancerous. But if you are worried about your cyst, contact your doctor to access the cyst.
Cysts are lumps or sacs of skin filled with keratin, liquid, air, or another substance. They can occur anywhere on the body, and they are typically noncancerous. Cysts are mainly caused due to a blockage in a duct, which can be because of trauma, infection and even possibly inherited.
Most cysts are not preventable due to a blocked duct, but you can ensure it does not become further infected to avoid touching and scratching the cyst. You keep it clean and ensure your hands are clean if you will handle it, and avoid trying to pop or burst it yourself.
Is it safe to burst a cyst?
We advise that you do not attempt to burst your cyst at home; it can be dangerous and leave you exposed to infection.
Can I treat my cyst at home?
For a cyst to be treated entirely, we advise that you visit a professional, but a warm compress to the cyst 3-4 times a day can help reduce the size of the cyst. But please do not attempt to pop your cyst at home.
Do you offer aftercare?
Within two weeks after your treatment, we will invite you back for a check-up, just to make sure you’re comfortable and are having no problems.
Is there any pain?
You may experience minimal pain and specific side effects, such as itchiness after removal, as well as some reddening of the surrounding skin. Treatment is carried out under local anaesthetic so that you will be awake throughout the process. After your treatment, you will be able to get on with the rest of your day.
Are there any side effects?
After procedure, you can notice the difference immediately and your skin will look revitalised naturally. Although, the full effect of the fillers won't be visible until 2-4 weeks after.
Is this treatment safe?
All medical and cosmetic procedures carry potential risks. When performed by trained clinicians, treatments are generally well tolerated, but suitability must always be assessed during consultation.
Can cysts disappear on their own?
Some cysts remain stable for years, but many do not disappear without treatment.
What is the best treatment for a cyst?
Complete surgical removal is often considered the most effective treatment for preventing recurrence.
How much does cyst removal cost?
The cost depends on the size, location and complexity of the cyst. A personalised quotation is provided during consultation.
Can I drive home after cyst removal?
Most patients can return home shortly after treatment, although individual advice may vary depending on the procedure performed.
What is the difference between a cyst and a lipoma?
A cyst is typically a fluid or keratin-filled sac beneath the skin, whereas a lipoma is a soft growth made of fatty tissue. A consultation can help determine which type of lump is present.
Can a cyst come back after removal?
Complete removal of the cyst and its capsule significantly reduces the risk of recurrence, although no procedure can guarantee that a cyst will never return.
Is cyst removal painful?
The procedure is usually performed under local anaesthetic, meaning the area is numbed before treatment begins.
Can an infected cyst be removed?
In some cases, infected cysts may need initial treatment before definitive removal can be safely performed.
How long does cyst removal take?
Most cyst removal procedures take approximately 30 to 60 minutes depending on the size and location of the cyst.
Will I have a scar after cyst removal?
Any surgical procedure can leave a scar, although every effort is made to minimise scarring and optimise healing.
Is cyst removal available privately?
Yes. Private cyst removal can offer quicker access to assessment and treatment compared with some NHS pathways.
Are cysts dangerous?
Most skin cysts are benign. However, any changing, painful or unusual lump should be assessed by a qualified clinician.
