Cysts are fluid-filled growths that arise in the dermis, the deepest layer of the skin. While they’re rarely dangerous, cysts can be bothersome as they can grow and become red, irritated or even infected with time.
The most troublesome are those that are noticeably firm and visible, on the scalp, face or body. If you have one on your face, it may be particularly troublesome because of how it negatively affects your appearance.
If you find a cyst, do not try to squeeze or rupture it. Many patients have tried this before coming to see us, making the cyst worse. It also often leads to further irritation and infection which can make removal more complicated.

Dr. Guirguis has treated a number of cysts, including those that are epidermal, epidermoid and pilar, as well as the most common, sebaceous.
