About Epidermoid Cyst

An epidermoid cyst excision is a common outpatient surgical procedure performed by a general surgeon to remove a benign, slow-growing cyst under the skin. These cysts, often filled with keratin, form from skin cells and can appear anywhere on the body. The procedure involves making a small incision over the cyst, carefully dissecting it from the surrounding tissue, and removing it entirely, including its sac or capsule, to prevent recurrence. It is typically performed under local anesthesia, is minimally invasive, and offers a definitive solution for cysts that are painful, infected, cosmetically concerning, or rapidly growing. The goal is complete removal with minimal scarring and a low risk of regrowth.
