Understanding Skin Cysts
Skin cysts are small, sac-like structures filled with fluid, keratin, or other materials. They develop beneath the skin’s surface and may appear as round, raised bumps. While typically non-cancerous, cysts can vary in size and occasionally become inflamed or infected, causing discomfort or cosmetic concerns. Dr. Mastruserio provides personalized care to address your cysts and ensure your skin’s health and comfort.
