Customer question:
How is the subcutaneous cyst removed? Anonymous customer's question
Pharmacist's answer:
Removal of a subcutaneous cyst is best done under the supervision of a doctor, especially if the cyst is large, painful, or recurring. Your doctor can advise you on the best course of treatment based on the size and severity of the tumor.
Some possible ways to remove a subcutaneous mystique include:
- Incision and drainage: the doctor may make a small incision in the skin above the subcutaneous tissue and drain the pus or contents of the cyst. This is called incision and drainage.
- Corticosteroid injection: Sometimes, the doctor may inject corticosteroids directly into the subcutaneous tissue to reduce inflammation and speed up healing.
- Surgical removal: for more significant or recurring cysts, the doctor may perform a surgical procedure to remove the cyst. This process is called excision.
- Antibiotic treatment: if the subcutaneous cyst results from a bacterial infection, your doctor may prescribe antibiotics.
It is essential not to try to remove subcutaneous pimples or cysts yourself, as this can increase the risk of infection, scarring, and other complications. Before any procedure, consult your doctor, who will determine the best treatment for your situation.
