Cyst / Lipoma Removal

Epidermal cysts, which are usually painless, but sometimes may become inflamed and tender, are the result of a buildup of oil and skin cells inside a sac-like structure. Lipomas are benign fatty tumors that grow just below the skin. These are best treatment with surgical incision and removal of the sac-like structure and all of its contents. It is a procedure performed under local anesthesia and patients are OK to drive home after.
