Has anyone had a sebacceous cyst removed?!


Question: My 9 y.o. has a cyst over his eyebrow. He is seeing a dermatologist on Friday about removal. How "traumatic" is removal (if you've had it done?) Also, can anyone tell me how likely he is to have it removed THAT day? I mean if it's in office how much prep work is needed (lab work, etc.. like hospital preadmission type things.)

If the doc has time he/she will remove it. Yes I assist with that procedure all the time..personnaly I get nauseous from the smell.
All that is needed is a sterile tray.......thats it. with Marcaine to numb the site.
good luck. many times the dr. will say pls.schedule to have that removed...only to make more Money..LOL

i had one removed nobig deal 1/2 hour no pain

I had a mole and a cyst removed. It was all finished in 1 day. I checked in at day surgery, got preped, the procedure lasted less than 1 hour, I had a little recovery time unitl the anestetic wore off...and I was OK.
