A cyst is a small lump filled with fluid. There are several types of cysts that can affect the skin or other parts of the body. There are three primary types of skin cysts.
- Epidermal cysts
- Trichilemmal cysts, which occur on the scalp
- Milia, which are very small and typically occur on the face.
An abnormal, usually noncancerous growth filled with liquid or a semisolid substance, sometimes causing pain.
Most cysts form for no apparent reason. Some of the known causes of cysts include:
- Blocked ducts, which cause a build-up of fluid
- A defect in the cells
- An impact injury that pops a blood vessel
- A parasite.
If left untreated, benign cysts can lead to a range of serious complications, including blood poisoning.
Surgical removal is the most common treatment.
