  https://www.usdermatologypartners.com/services/general-dermatology/epidermoid-cysts/

  Epidermoid cysts are the most common type of cyst. They are normally benign and do not typically cause any serious health concerns. However, if epidermoid cysts are in an unfortunate spot or they’re painful, infected, or inflamed, your dermatologist, at U.S. Dermatology Partners, may recommend treatment. […] During a consultation visit, your dermatologist will typically be able to diagnose an epidermoid cyst quickly through visual examination. In some cases, they may perform a biopsy to confirm the diagnosis and ensure the cyst is not an indicator of a more serious skin health concern. […] If the cyst is infected, inflamed, swollen, painful, or in a noticeable place like the face, your dermatologist may recommend one of the following treatment options: Antibiotic treatment – If the cyst becomes infected, you may be prescribed oral and/or topical antibiotics. Steroid injection – A solution of steroids is injected into the cyst to reduce swelling and inflammation. Draining – A small incision is made in the cyst and the contents are drained. In most cases, draining is recommended if a cyst is inflamed or infected. This will offer some immediate relief, but it may not be a permanent solution as the cyst sac may refill over time. Surgical removal – This is a minor surgery that involves removing the entire cyst and cyst wall or sac. When epidermoid cysts are surgically removed, it will usually prevent the cyst from refilling or becoming inflamed again. This procedure is usually not recommended if the cyst is infected or inflamed. Before beginning surgery, an inflamed cyst may be drained and a patient may need to undergo antibiotic treatment. […] It’s important to avoid “popping” and draining the cyst on your own as this can lead to more severe inflammation. Additionally, your cyst is likely to grow back after draining, so it’s important to receive professional treatment.

  https://www.aafp.org/pubs/afp/issues/2002/0401/p1409.html

  While complete surgical excision can ensure removal of the sac and prevent recurrence, this technique is time-consuming and requires suture closure. […] The minimal excision technique has been proposed as a less invasive and successful intervention. […] The tiny wound can be closed with a single suture, although most physicians do not close this opening. […] Simple incision and drainage of cysts frequently results in recurrence. […] This simple technique is inexpensive, but the need for a follow-up visit and the length of time for lesion removal may make this technique less desirable to many patients. […] If malignancy is discovered in a cyst wall that is removed at the time of the minimal excision technique, the physician may consider a second excision. […] If a solid tumor is suspected during minimal excision, it should be removed by a formal surgical excision and sent for histologic evaluation. […] Simple epidermoid cysts that appear to be completely excised do not generally require follow-up.

• #19 Why Excision is Best for Pilar, Epidermoid & Sebaceous Cysts

  https://www.westforddermatology.com/plastic-surgery/why-excision-is-the-preferred-treatment-for-pilar-epidermoid-and-sebaceous-cysts/

  If you’ve noticed a lump forming beneath your skin, it could be a pilar, epidermoid, or sebaceous cyst. These cysts can appear anywhere on the body and are often painless but uncomfortable, irritating, or prone to infection. Though there are several methods for managing cysts, surgical excision of pilar, epidermoid, and sebaceous cysts is the most effective treatment. […] One of the primary reasons surgical removal of pilar cysts is recommended is that it allows for the entire cyst to be removed. Unlike other treatments, which may only address the cyst’s contents, excision removes the cyst wall. This means that the root cause of the cyst is eliminated, minimizing the chance of recurrence. […] Whether you have epidermoid cysts on your face or a pilar cyst on your scalp, excision is effective in preventing the cyst from growing back.

  Most people with an epidermoid or pilar cyst never seek medical attention. […] If a cyst is uncomplicated then no treatment is usually advisable. The cyst may disappear spontaneously, leaving no trace. Even the most skilful excision will leave a permanent scar. […] If the cyst is red and hot it is probably infected. An antibiotic effective against staphylococci should be used – eg, flucloxacillin. Infection may be mixed and, in lesions of the scalp and anogenital area, anaerobic flora are more likely. […] If the cyst has ruptured, the contents can be expressed. However, the cyst may well re-form. […] An inflamed but uninfected cyst may respond to intralesional injection of steroid but it is not easy to tell if an inflamed cyst is infected or not and this is not usually recommended.

• #22 Factors affecting complications after treatment of epidermal cyst

  https://www.e-jyms.org/journal/view.php?number=2428

  Epidermal cysts are the most common benign epithelial tumors in humans. The curative treatment of epidermal cyst is surgical excision. […] Several treatment methods, including minimal incision surgery, have been reported. However, surgical treatment results in scarring of various lengths. Postoperative complications include infection, bleeding, scarring, and cyst recurrence. […] The first-line treatment of epidermal cyst is simple excision. It is easy to excise if no infection signs are evident. However, in cases with epidermal cyst infection, excision is often difficult because of tissue inflammation or cyst wall rupture. If the cyst wall is not completely removed, the epidermal cyst would recur. Therefore, when an epidermal cyst is infected, surgeons should consider partially incising the cyst and draining it first, and then excising it completely 12 weeks later.

  Cysts typically will not go away on their own, but because they do not usually cause pain, some cysts are left untreated. […] If a cyst ruptures, becomes infected or causes pain, it can be drained or removed surgically. Some types of cysts can also be treated with an injection of cortisone, which will cause the cyst to shrink. Other cysts require topical or oral antibiotic therapy. It’s important to seek professional treatment for cysts rather than attempting to remove them at home. Because these growths are encased in sacs, “popping” will not effectively remove them. Instead, the sac will refill. By creating an open wound, you increase your risk of infection. For this reason, you should always partner with a dermatologist to remove the entire cyst, including the sac. […] In most cases, a dermatologist can remove your cyst under local anesthesia with minimal discomfort. They will do their utmost to create minimal scarring in the process of removing the cyst. After the lump is removed, you may notice some swelling, and you’ll need to keep the surgical site clean as it heals. In most cases, the cyst removal site heals completely within just a few weeks. […] If a dermatologist surgically removes a cyst and its sac, it will not usually reform. Even if a cyst doesn’t refill, some people are more prone to cyst formation than others. For this reason, if you develop one cyst, you may be more likely to develop more.

Most patients report not feeling any pain at all while the excision is being performed, and compare the feeling to be similar to someone rubbing the area while wearing multiple layers of clothing. The entire cyst capsule and its contents are removed during excision. No part of the sac wall is left behind, as this prevents the same cyst from forming again. It is still possible for brand new, unrelated cysts to develop, however. […] After the cyst excision has been completed, sutures are applied, and will be removed within 5-7 days. A few days of swelling and mild soreness are normal at the excision site, and can be controlled with over-the-counter pain medications. Most normal activities, including returning to work, can be resumed the next day after the cyst removal. Heavier levels of exercise can be resumed within a couple of weeks after the healing process has had enough time to be completed. Sun exposure to the treated area should be limited, and use of sunscreen with at least SPF 30 is strongly advised.
