What is Cyst & Mole Removal?
Cyst & Mole Removal is a non-surgical or surgical procedure that removes cysts and moles from the skin. General practitioners, plastic surgeons, and dermatologists can often perform these procedures in-office. If the growths appear potentially harmful, your provider may send them for pathological examination under a microscope.
Cysts are slow-growing sacks of tissue located internally and under the surface of your skin. They are commonly found in adults. In contrast, moles are growths on the skin's surface created by pigmented cells called melanocytes. They can be light or dark in color.

How Cyst & Mole Removal Works
Cyst & Mole Removal procedures are very similar in their approaches. They both involve excising a growth on or underneath the skin. The procedure is very tolerable, and not all removals require stitches. There is often no downtime—patients can return to their normal activities immediately.
Before & Preparation
Before scheduling an appointment for removal, you will first have a consultation with your provider. This meeting is for you and...
Your provider will:
- Go over your medical history
- Examine and photograph the areas of concern
- Determine the type of growth(s) to be removed
- Create a treatment plan for removal
- Schedule your removal procedure
Be sure to tell your provider about
- Any current medications, especially those that affect blood clotting
- Any history of health issues related to clotting
- Any history of issues with healing
During the Procedure
Your procedure begins with the experienced practitioner marking and sterilizing the targeted area.
- Anesthetic is injected into the area using a small needle. It can be slightly uncomfortable but should be the only pain you experience.
- Your provider will use a scalpel or cylindrical blade to remove the growth. You may feel some pressure, but there shouldn’t be any pain.
- Minor excisions may not require stitches.
Depending on difficulty and severity, Cyst & Mole Removal procedures can range from just a few minutes to about an hour. If you need stitches, your provider will instruct you on proper care and schedule a follow-up visit for removal. Your removed tissue may be sent off for further testing.
Aftercare & Recovery
Recovery is typically minimal and requires no restrictions from ordinary activities. For best results, make sure you:
- Prevent potential irritation during healing
- Avoid stretching the treatment area with exercise
- Protect the treated area from the sun
- Use scar therapy starting two weeks after the procedure to improve color and texture
Minimal tenderness and redness can appear at the site, but they will fade with recovery.
Treatment Areas
Treatment areas are not specific, as cysts and moles can occur anywhere. Some locations on the body can be more complex or sensitive to treat than others and may require additional care.
Am I a Good Candidate for Cyst & Mole Removal?
Good candidates for Cyst & Mole Removal:
- Have visible, irritating, or painful growths
- Have concerns about cancerous growths
- Do not have allergies to anesthetics
- Do not have any active infections or viral illnesses
Similar & Related Procedures
There are various methods for Cyst and Mole Removal procedures. Continue reading to find out which one is the most appropriate for you.
- Surgical Excisions: Surgical Excisions are used when growths are dark or bumpy, or if cancer is suspected; an oval-shaped excision requiring stitches; is likely to leave some scarring.
- Punch Excisions: a surgical technique using a hollow, cylindrical blade that removes a “plug” of the growth and some surrounding tissue; most commonly used on flat moles.
- Shave Excision: Shave Excision is best for raised and light-colored growth; a horizontal cut at the base of the growth results in a flat skin surface.
- Endoscopic Excision: an excision technique for internal growths. Two small openings provide entry to the body with no need for open surgery. It also reduces the chances of infection.
Side Effects & Risks
It’s important to remember that all surgical procedures carry some risk. While Cyst & Mole Removal isn’t a risky procedure, side effects can include:
- Scarring
- Tightened Skin Around The Treatment Area during Healing
- Surgical Site Infection
- Recurrence of Growth
Some growths are more likely than others to return after excision. Talk to your practitioner about your type of growth and the likelihood of recurrence.

Cyst or Mole Removal Treatment Frequently Asked Questions
There are many cases when a cyst will not need to be seen by a medical doctor. However, in some cases, medical intervention is necessary. Surgical doctors have the proper sterile equipment in order to effectively remove and treat a cyst. There may be several specialists who could diagnose a cyst.
A family doctor often does not have the surgical experience in order to remove cysts. Your regular doctor will typically refer you to a specialist or a surgeon in order to get the proper diagnosis for your cyst and potential removal. The surgeon will be able to determine if you are a candidate for surgery.
When a cyst is under the skin, it will need to be drained. This involves the laceration of the cyst and gentle pushing to help relieve pressure, as well as release what is inside. The cyst may become swollen and tender, but the doctor will inject medicine into the cyst to help alleviate these symptoms. In some cases, the entire cyst will need to be removed.
If you have noticed a cyst on your earlobe, there is a way to get rid of it. A doctor will be able to remove the cyst for you, which will require local anesthetic. The cyst will be cut off and your earlobe will be stitched up.
The most significant difference between moles and cysts is the type of cells that make them.
- Cysts are pockets of fluid or tissue underneath the skin that are rarely cancerous.
- Moles are concentrations of pigmented skin cells and are more likely to be cancerous.
Moles have more potential than cysts to develop into cancer. Monitoring your freckles and moles for changes can help with early cancer detection, significantly reducing the risk of disease progression.
You can return to normal activities immediately after your appointment. If you received stitches during your procedure, they would be removed by your provider about a week later. Total wound healing can take anywhere from a few weeks to a year.
Mole removal is completed in your provider’s office using surgical methods that require local anesthesia. You should never attempt to remove a mole on your own or in a way that can’t test the tissue for pathologies.
The best method is to have an experienced practitioner assess and remove the growth. Removal methods depend on various factors but include surgical and non-surgical options, with some options including placement of stitches.
Cyst removal is safe and effective. Some growths can be severe, but their removal is typically simple enough to be done in your doctor’s office with a local anesthetic.
