Yes! If you have a cyst that causes insecurity or negatively affects your quality of life, your skincare provider may recommend getting it removed. Cyst excision is an outpatient surgery that involves removing the capsule—the outer portion of the cyst—which will prevent the cyst from growing back.
Your provider may also recommend draining a cyst if it is inflamed or swollen. This involves making a small incision and draining out the fluid inside, but if the capsule of the cyst is left behind, the cyst will remain.
