Removal of Cyst on Neck

This video was published this morning and was accidentally deleted (sorry)!!Show more

This is a lovely older patient whom I see for treatment of her skin cancers. I have a video I published earlier, that shows me extracting blackheads on her face, and it was during her last visit that I noticed that she had this cyst on the left side of her neck. However, we didn't have time to remove it on her previous visit. This time, I was seeing her to see how she was healing after I removed a basal cell carcinoma ( a type of non-life threatening skin cancer) and repaired the area surgically.
This bump had been bothering her for awhile, and I think she was happy to have it removed. As you know, epidermoid cysts like this are not life threatening. However, if they get irritated and inflamed, an infection can lead to pain and scarring. Here I use a punch biopsy tool to remove this cyst.

Thank you for watching!
