  A skin cyst is a round, domed, closed sack-like capsule that is filled with fluid or pus. Cysts are abnormal bumps under the skin that feel like a pea under the skin. Most are slow growing, painless and harmless and only require treatment if they become symptomatic or infected.

Treatment may involve injecting steroid medication into the cyst causing it to shrink, but the cyst will still be there. Draining the cyst removes the contents of the cyst, which will, also make is shrink but will not remove it. Neither of these treatment methods removes the entire cyst, so it therefore may return over time. Only surgically removing the cyst will remove its contents and the cyst capsule. Surgical removal is minor surgery and will leave a small scar, but excision will fully clear the cyst so it will not return.

  Cyst removal involves more than draining the substance from inside the cyst.

The tissues around the cyst may also need some attention if there are signs of abscesses or infection. […] Cyst removal is a minor surgery that is performed on an outpatient basis, typically with only local anesthesia to numb the area. The surgeon makes an incision in the cyst, cleans out the substance, and removes the cyst sac. The incision is closed with sutures to protect the tissues from infection while you heal. If the surgeon suspects that the cyst may be cancerous, a sample is sent to a lab for evaluation. […] Depending on the location of your cyst, you may need to limit use of the area to allow the tissues to properly heal. The area may feel tender and you may notice some mild swelling.
