# Sebaceous Cyst Removal in Bangalore

*Medically reviewed by [Dr Sreekar Harinatha](/about-dr-sreekar-harinatha-best-plastic-surgeon-in-bangalore), MCh (Plastic Surgery)*

A sebaceous (epidermoid) cyst is a small, usually painless lump under the skin filled with thick, toothpaste-like material. Cysts can become infected, so many people have them removed. At Contura Clinic, Bangalore, Dr Sreekar Harinatha removes them in 5–10 minutes under local anaesthesia, through a small cut on top of the cyst.


## What is a sebaceous cyst?

A build-up of material from a blocked or malformed gland, in the skin or the fat just under it.


## Why remove it?

To prevent infection and for appearance, especially on the face. Cysts can also press on nearby tissue as they grow.


## How is it removed?

Through a small cut on top of the cyst under local anaesthesia, in about 5–10 minutes, designed to leave as little scar as possible.


## Stitches

Dissolving stitches usually fall away in about 10 days. If non-dissolving stitches are used, they are removed after 5–8 days.


## Infected cysts and cost

An infected cyst is first treated with antibiotics (and drained if needed), then removed once the infection settles. As a guide, sebaceous cyst removal in Bangalore costs about ₹17,000–₹50,000, depending on size and location.
