Cysts are noncancerous, closed pockets of tissue that can be filled with fluid, pus, or other material.

Cysts are common on the skin and can appear anywhere. They feel like small peas under the surface of the skin. Cysts or Cyst can develop as a result of infection, clogging of sebaceous glands (oil glands), or around foreign bodies, such as earrings.




What Are the Symptoms of Skin Cysts?

Skin cysts usually are:

Slow-growing
Painless

Smooth to the touch when they are rolled under the skin




How Are Skin Cysts Treated?

Cysts usually do not cause pain unless they rupture or become infected or inflamed. A cyst can disappear on their own without treatment. Other cysts may need to be drained. That involves piercing the cyst with a sharp object and draining it. Some inflamed cysts can be treated with an injection of cortisone medication to cause it to shrink. Cysts that do not respond to other treatments or reoccur can be removed surgically.
