Sebaceous cyst removal in Vijayawada | Dr. Naresh Veeranki

A round lump just under the skin, often with a tiny black dot on top, that may leak a thick, smelly material: that's an epidermoid, or sebaceous, cyst. Removing the whole cyst wall stops it coming back.

Also known as: epidermoid cyst, skin cyst removal, scalp cyst

A word from Dr. Naresh

Many people live with a lump for years, quietly worrying about what it might be. Most lumps turn out to be harmless, and a short examination often settles the question on the same day.

If removal is the right choice, it's usually a short procedure under local anaesthesia, and you go home the same day. Every removed lump is sent for testing, for peace of mind.

The complete guide: everything you need to know

Everything you need to know about sebaceous cyst removal, in one place.

1Are you an ideal candidate for sebaceous cyst removal?

Suitability is decided at an in-person examination, with a review of your history and reports.

You may benefit if

  • A firm, round lump just under the skin
  • A small central pore or black dot
  • Occasional discharge of thick, foul-smelling material
  • Redness, swelling and pain when it gets infected
  • Common on the scalp, face, neck, back and earlobes

When to wait or plan carefully

  • An infected cyst or abscess, which is usually settled first
  • Blood thinners that need a plan before the procedure
  • A small, clearly harmless lump that isn't bothering you
2Step-by-step: how it is done
  1. 1

    Examination

    The doctor checks the lump or wound; an ultrasound is arranged if it's deep.

  2. 2

    Numbing

    Most small procedures use local anaesthesia, so you can usually eat normally beforehand.

  3. 3

    The procedure

    Typically 20 to 45 minutes.

  4. 4

    Going home

    The same day, with dressing instructions and a date for review.

3Day-by-day recovery timeline and what to expect

4Sebaceous cyst removal cost in Vijayawada: honest, itemised pricing

  • Hospital and room. Day-care, general ward or private room changes the total.
  • Tests and scans. Blood tests, ultrasound or CT, only if they're needed and not already done.

6Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

Can I squeeze it out?

Please don't. Squeezing can push infection deeper and make it harder to remove cleanly later.

Why did it come back after it was drained?

Draining empties the contents but leaves the cyst wall, which fills up again. Removing the complete wall prevents recurrence.

Can it be removed while it's infected?

Usually the infection is settled first with antibiotics or drainage, and the cyst removed a few weeks later for a cleaner result and a smaller scar.

Will there be a scar on my face?

Facial cysts are removed through small, carefully placed cuts with fine stitches to keep scarring minimal.

How long does removal take?

Usually 20 to 30 minutes.

When are stitches removed?

About 5 to 7 days on the face and 10 to 14 days on the back.

Can I wash my hair after a scalp cyst?

Usually after 48 hours, gently.

What is the cost of sebaceous cyst removal in Vijayawada?
