A skin cyst is a closed sac-like lump under the skin, usually filled with fluid, pus or other material like keratin. They're non-cancerous and generally slow-growing. Cysts can be removed during a consultation at one of my outpatient clinics.
The size of the cyst will determine the size of the scar. The general rule is the scar will be half the length of the cyst
In terms of how your scars will heal and fade over time, everyone is different and the appearance will depend on skin tone, elasticity and how your skin heals.
All the stitches are dissovable and you can return to work the same day.
Simple dressings will be supplied if necessary.
