Types of lumps
Sebaceous Cyst
A “sebaceous cyst” is a common term for a skin cyst that can swell, drain, and recur. We focus on confirming the diagnosis and removing the capsule to reduce recurrence for patients in Bradenton, Lakewood Ranch, Sarasota, and surrounding West-Central Florida.
Inflamed cysts can become painful, red, warm, or draining.
Complete excision usually means removing the capsule (the cyst wall).
We’ll recommend the safest timing—sometimes treating inflammation first.

What to know
If you’re noticing changes like growth, firmness, fixation, drainage, or persistent pain, it’s reasonable to schedule an evaluation.
For patients in Bradenton, Lakewood Ranch, and Sarasota, we offer office-based and outpatient options depending on what’s safest for your specific lump.
Frequently asked questions
Why do cysts come back?
Most commonly because the capsule remains. Drainage alone often doesn’t remove the cyst wall.
Should I pop a cyst at home?
No. Home popping increases infection risk and doesn’t address the capsule, so recurrence is common.
Can cyst removal be same-week?
Often yes, depending on size, location, and whether the cyst is actively inflamed.
