Priya Nair, a 28-year-old software engineer,...
Priya Nair, a 28-year-old software engineer, first noticed a small, painless bump on her upper back two years ago. Over time, it grew to the size of a large grape. While not painful, it became a constant source of self-consciousness. She avoided wearing backless tops or dresses for her best friend's wedding, feeling the lump was visible under certain fabrics. During a routine check-up, her GP confirmed it was a likely epidermoid cyst. He explained that while harmless, it could become infected or continue to grow, and removal was a simple outpatient procedure for cosmetic and preventive reasons. Priya was nervous but scheduled the surgery. The procedure under local anesthesia was quick; she felt only pressure. Recovery involved keeping the area clean and a few dissolvable stitches. Within two weeks, the incision had healed into a faint line. Emotionally, Priya felt a huge weight lifted. The constant mental reminder was gone, restoring her confidence to wear what she wanted without a second thought.
