​

Welcome to Glasgow Skin Specialists, your trusted provider for safe and effective cyst removal. We combine medical expertise with a patient-centred approach, ensuring your comfort and confidence throughout the process.

​

What Are Cysts?

Cysts are fluid-filled sacs or lumps that form beneath the skin. While most cysts are harmless, they can become uncomfortable, infected, or cosmetically concerning. Cysts vary in size and can appear anywhere on the body. Common types include:

​

  • Epidermoid Cysts: The most common type, these form when skin cells collect beneath the surface.

  • Pilar Cysts: Often found on the scalp, these cysts are associated with hair follicles and can run in families.

  • Sebaceous Cysts: Develop from blocked sebaceous glands and are typically filled with a yellowish, oily substance.

  • Ganglion Cysts: Found near joints, particularly on the wrists, hands, or fingers.

​

Why Remove Cysts?

Cysts can cause discomfort, interfere with daily activities, and occasionally become infected if left untreated. Removing cysts offers several benefits:

​

  • Reduces physical discomfort or irritation.

  • Prevents potential infection or complications.

  • Improves your skin’s appearance and boosts confidence.
