removal of skin cysts in sutton coldfield

Cysts are typically benign lesions which can occur anywhere as a lump under the skin. Sometimes they can become sore, inflamed or infected and require courses of antibiotics. 

They can gradually increase in size and can become a cosmetic concern or start to become sore as they put pressure on the surrounding skin or structures. 

Common sites of cysts are the scalp, face and back. 

Sometimes, an ultrasound is required to check the lesion before having surgery, but in most cases, surgical removal under local anaesthetic can be considered without prior imaging. 

Dr Wernham has a lot of experience in removing cysts and is happy to consult with patients to discuss cyst removal. Its best to choose a clinician who has this experience to sure the cyst is removal correctly without leaving the capsule behind which results in a higher chance of the cyst coming back. Following removal of the cyst, the skin edges will be stitched back together. You can choose whether you would like dissolving stitches only or stitches which require removal at one week. The consultant will discuss these options with you and discuss the benefits of each option.
