Our preferred method of skin cyst removal is the elliptical excision where we remove the complete cyst with the fluid in tact. By removing the cyst in this fashion the chances of it returning are almost zero. We have found clinics offering methods such as squeezing, or burning the cyst. Although there is a time and place for such methods, the full elliptical excision has always been the gold standard and is recommended by the British Association of Dermatologists. We offer an exceptional level of service which is unparalleled by other clinics.
At Harley Street Medical, our Dermatology Clinics are located in London’s prestigious medical hub, Harley Street. We are dedicated to delivering the highest standard of dermatological care in the UK.
