Common Skin Disorders- Cysts

Cysts are non-cancerous pockets of tissue that can be filled with pus, fluid, or other material. Cysts develop on the skin as a result of infection, clogged oil glands, or exposure to a foreign material, such a piercing. Skin cysts are usually painless and smooth to the touch when under the skin, though they can cause pain when ruptured or infected.
 
Common treatments for cysts include draining, cortisone injection, or surgical removal. If you have a cyst, make an appointment with The Georgia Dermatology Center to determine the right course of action for you.
