Dermal Cyst Removal at The Pinewoods Clinic, Liverpool

Dermal cysts are common, benign lumps that can appear anywhere on the skin. While usually harmless, they may become painful, infected, or cosmetically concerning. At The Pinewoods Clinic, our experienced dermatologists and surgeons provide expert dermal cyst removal, using minimally invasive techniques to ensure safe, effective treatment with excellent cosmetic results.

What Is a Dermal Cyst?

A dermal cyst is a sac-like structure under the skin, often filled with fluid, keratin, or other tissue. Common types include epidermoid cysts and pilar cysts, which typically grow slowly and are painless unless inflamed or infected.

Why Consider Removal?

Patients choose cyst removal for several reasons:

• Pain, tenderness, or swelling
• Recurrent infection or inflammation
• Cosmetic concerns, especially on visible areas like the face or neck
• Prevention of further growth or complications
