What Causes Skin Cysts?
Cysts can develop as a result of infection, clogging of sebaceous glands, or around foreign bodies. How Are Skin Cysts Treated? Some cysts disappear on their own without treatment. Others require treatment that involves lancing (piercing with a sharp object) the cyst and draining it. Some cysts can be treated with an injection of cortisone medication. Cysts that do not respond to treatment can be removed through surgery.
