The treatment
Cyst Removal: how it works
Dr Shahe Boghossian examines the lump and asks how long you've had it and whether it has changed. Most lumps are harmless and don't need removing. A lump that's painful, hard, fixed or growing needs your GP first. If removal suits you, he numbs the area with local anaesthetic and removes the cyst through a small cut, aiming to take out its capsule, the wall that surrounds it. Cysts can come back if the capsule isn't fully removed. If anything looks suspicious, he refers you to your GP the same day.
