About this service

Expert Cyst Removal Dundee

Sebaceous cysts are harmless, slow-growing lumps that often appear on the face, neck, or body due to blocked oil glands. While usually painless, they can sometimes release an unpleasant discharge. Learn more in our guide to cyst removal.

At our Edinburgh clinic, we provide precise, consultant-led cyst removal with a focus on minimal scarring and patient comfort. Many patients from Dundee, Perth, and surrounding areas choose us for fast, expert care without the need for a GP referral. Your consultation will include a full assessment and clear explanation of treatment options, allowing you to make an informed choice with confidence.

Treatment methods

Cyst Treatment Options

We offer specialist private treatment for sebaceous cysts, serving Dundee and Tayside patients from our Edinburgh-based clinic. Our expert-led approach is tailored to each individual, ensuring both effective removal and consideration of cosmetic outcomes.

We ensure patients are fully informed and involved in choosing the best treatment option, taking into account factors like the cyst’s size, location, and the patient’s preferences. Learn more about various cyst treatment options in our comprehensive guide on cysts. We also provide detailed aftercare instructions and follow-up appointments to support proper healing and patient satisfaction.

Observation. For small, symptom-free cysts, we may recommend monitoring for any changes rather than immediate treatment.

Incision and Drainage. This procedure offers quick relief for painful, swollen cysts by draining the contents. However, as the cyst sac remains, there's a higher chance of recurrence.

Surgical Excision. For a more permanent solution, the entire cyst, including its sac, is surgically removed, greatly reducing the likelihood of recurrence. This is performed under local anaesthesia.

Antibiotics. If the cyst is infected, antibiotics may be prescribed to treat the infection, although this won’t remove the cyst itself.
