Skin cysts are common growths that develop beneath the skin. While many cysts are harmless, they can become painful, inflamed, infected, or bothersome over time.
Symptoms & Causes
Cysts often appear as smooth, round lumps beneath the skin and may occur on the scalp, face, neck, back, or body. Some cysts can drain fluid or become irritated.
