Cyst/ Mole Excision
Description
At Asees Derma Clinic, we provide Cyst and Mole Excision, a safe, precise, and minimally invasive surgical procedure performed by an experienced dermatologist to remove unwanted skin cysts, benign moles, and other non-cancerous skin growths. Whether the lesion is causing discomfort, recurring infections, irritation, cosmetic concerns, or has changed in appearance, our goal is to provide effective treatment while preserving the health and appearance of your skin.
Every procedure is carefully planned after a detailed clinical examination. We focus on complete removal whenever appropriate, minimal scarring, and a comfortable patient experience using modern surgical techniques and evidence-based dermatological care.
What is Cyst/Mole Excision?
Cyst/Mole Excision is a minor dermatological surgical procedure in which a cyst or mole is carefully removed under local anesthesia.
Unlike treatments that only reduce the size of a lesion, excision aims to remove the entire growth. For cysts, this often includes removing the cyst wall to reduce the chance of recurrence. For moles, the entire lesion may be removed when clinically appropriate.
The procedure is performed in a sterile clinical setting and usually takes a short amount of time, allowing most patients to return home the same day.
What is a Skin Cyst?
A skin cyst is a closed sac beneath the skin that contains fluid, keratin, or other material. Most cysts are benign (non-cancerous) and grow slowly over time.
Common types include:
Epidermoid Cysts
Sebaceous Cysts
Pilar (Trichilemmal) Cysts
Inclusion Cysts
Although many cysts are harmless, they can sometimes:
Increase in size
Become painful
Get infected
Discharge foul-smelling material
Cause cosmetic concerns
Recur repeatedly
In such cases, surgical excision may be recommended.
What is a Mole?
A mole (also called a nevus) is a common skin growth formed by clusters of pigment-producing cells.
Most moles are harmless and remain unchanged throughout life. However, some moles may become cosmetically bothersome, frequently irritated by clothing or shaving, or develop changes in size, shape, or color that require medical evaluation.
Your dermatologist will assess the mole carefully before recommending removal.
