How to remove a cyst on the face?
Answer: Options include watch & wait, warm compressions, intralesional cortisone injections aka ILK (for acne cysts and sebaceous cysts), or excision excluding cysts on the face. Sometimes they can be popped with a small needle extruding the contents with minimal scar
Is it possible to remove a cyst without surgery?
Answer: Yes, ILK can help to shrink a cyst. That being said, some sebaceous cysts usually need to be completely removed to prevent regrowth.
Does removing a cyst hurt?
Answer: Similar to visiting the dentist, there is a pinch and burn with the local anesthesia, but after that you may only feel sensations of tugging and pulling, not any sharp pain.
Will I have a scar?
Answer: Yes, depending on the size of the lesion, but it will be minimal as well as cosmetically appealing as possible. Proper would care is vital, and laser treatments can reduce redness.
“Wonderful experience. Dr. Goldman is clearly very experienced and a wealth of knowledge. He spent a lot of time going over my concerns, more than most doctors offer. I felt at ease knowing he has been in the “business” for a long time and is very knowledgeable. Plus— he didn’t push any products on me. You can tell he runs the practice with integrity. 100% recommend.” - Kali-Ray S.

“Dr. Goldman's office is top notch. Beginning with the ease of scheduling, to being seen at the time the appointment was scheduled, to a very friendly and efficient front staff to skilled nursing help, the visit with Dr. Goldman was first rate. He is a skilled, physician who listens well to his patients and really knows his medicine. Can't recommend this practice highly enough. Richard Beck” - Richard B.
