55 DoctorsKaran Bhatia, a 28-year-old software engineer,...
Karan Bhatia, a 28-year-old software engineer, had a small, painless bump on his upper back for over a year. It started to grow slowly and became tender, especially when his backpack rubbed against it. He was self-conscious about it at the gym and avoided wearing fitted t-shirts. During a routine check-up, his GP referred him to a dermatologist. The dermatologist diagnosed it as an epidermoid cyst and recommended surgical excision to prevent further growth, potential infection, and for cosmetic reasons. Karan was nervous but opted for local anesthesia. The procedure was quick, taking about 20 minutes. He felt pressure but no pain. Recovery involved keeping the area clean and dry for a week, with some mild soreness. The stitches were removed after 10 days, leaving a minimal scar that faded significantly. Emotionally, Karan felt relief and regained confidence. He was no longer preoccupied with hiding the bump and felt a weight lifted, happy he addressed it proactively.
