A Precise Solution for Pilar and Epidermoid Cysts

Pilar and epidermoid cysts develop when skin cells become trapped beneath the surface, forming a firm, enclosed lump that can gradually enlarge. Although benign, cysts may become uncomfortable, inflamed or cosmetically concerning if left untreated.

Surgical removal eliminates the cyst before it causes further irritation or infection, providing a clean, lasting resolution and restoring confidence in your skin’s health and appearance.

How It Works

The Elite Difference:


How Cyst Removal Works

For pilar and epidermoid cysts, surgical excision removes the entire cyst sac to prevent recurrence and relieve discomfort.

The procedure is carried out under local anaesthesia, ensuring you remain completely comfortable while allowing the clinician to work with precision and care. By gently dissecting the cyst from the surrounding tissue, we minimise trauma to the skin and preserve the area’s natural appearance.

This meticulous approach not only resolves the immediate concern but also supports smooth healing, minimal scarring and long-term skin health.

Book A Cyst Removal Consultation

The cyst is assessed to confirm its type, size and depth, and the area is carefully marked to ensure accurate and complete removal.

A small incision is made, and the cyst sac is gently dissected out in full to avoid regrowth, followed by fine suturing for optimal healing.

The area is dressed and detailed aftercare guidance is provided, with a follow-up appointment arranged to monitor healing and remove sutures.

Complete, Permanent Resolution

Surgical removal eliminates the entire cyst sac, preventing recurrence and ensuring the lump does not return. This provides long-lasting relief from discomfort, inflammation and repeated irritation.

Minimal Scarring, Natural Appearance

By using fine incisions and careful dissection, our clinicians minimise tissue trauma and support clean, refined healing. Most patients achieve a barely noticeable scar over time, especially with proper aftercare.

Relief From Pain and Infection Risk

Cysts can become tender, inflamed or infected when left untreated. Excision removes these risks entirely, restoring comfort and protecting the surrounding skin.

Clinician-Led, Personalised Care

Every cyst is different, which is why all procedures at Montrose are planned and performed by experienced dermatologists. From diagnosis through aftercare, your treatment is tailored to ensure precision, safety and confidence in your results.

What complementary treatments are available?

Most cysts do not require additional treatments once removed. However, if a cyst becomes infected before surgery, antibiotics or drainage may be recommended prior to excision. For patients prone to recurrent cysts, a dermatologist may review underlying causes such as acne, follicular issues, or scalp conditions.

What is the post-treatment advice?

You will need to keep the area clean and dry for several days and avoid strenuous activity that could place tension on the sutures. Dressings should be changed as advised, and you’ll return to the clinic for suture removal, typically within 7–14 days depending on the location. Mild swelling or tenderness is normal and settles quickly.

What can I expect during the procedure?

The procedure is generally quick, often taking 20–30 minutes. After local anaesthesia is applied, you will feel pressure but no pain. The clinician performs the excision, closes the area with sutures, and applies a dressing. You can go home immediately afterward, and most patients resume normal activities the same day.
