Cyst is a sac-like structure or closed capsule fitted with semisolid, liquid or gaseous material. They are usually seen in any kind of body tissue that differs in size, starting from microscopic to large structures. Though they are also referred to sac formation or normal bag, they grow larger over time.
Mostly, small cysts do not have any signs and symptoms. However, they can be felt as a bump or in the tissues beneath your skin. Sometimes cysts are painful as they are not associated with the skin but with internal organs that might not produce any symptoms when they are small. If the cysts become large and block normal flow of fluid in the tissues such as pancreas, liver or other organs, then the symptoms related to those organs might develop.
The risk factors might depend on several causes such as:
Cysts are usually removed with the combination of laser and micro excision surgery to attain appropriate cosmetic result.Local anaesthetic is needed to make the procedure less painful. There is a technique calledshort scar/ micro excision that involves removing the contents of the cyst initially and then the sac or wall that surrounds it so that the cyst may not occur again. A cautery laser is used to stop the bleeding and the resulting wound requiresproper stitches.
