Guide To The Common Types Of Cysts

If you're suffering from cysts, understanding which treatments to use and where to find them is vital.

Cysts are pockets of tissue that resemble sacs. They can occur in nearly any part of the body or underneath the skin. A typical cyst will be comprised of a membrane that houses air, fluid, pus, or another substance. Many different kinds of cysts exist. The majority of cysts are noncancerous, otherwise known as benign, and not all cysts need treatment. Whether or not a cyst needs to be medically treated will vary depending on if it's infected, causing discomfort or pain, where it's located, and what type it is. A dermatologist is the main doctor who can diagnose and treat cysts on the skin.
