An epidermoid cyst is a non-cancerous growth commonly found on the skin of the face or neck, but can occur anywhere on the body. Just as its name suggests, these cysts occur as a result of epidermal cells, cells from the top layer of your skin the epidermis, overgrow in a confined space. The buildup of these cells under the skin results in a “cheesy” consistency and often a pungent odor! Epidermoid cysts are typically harmless and have no symptoms, but people often seek removal due to the appearance of the bump or because the cyst has become inflamed or ruptured. If you have a ruptured cyst you may notice, sudden redness, pain, swelling, and heat around the area, all of which can lead to an abscess forming. Surgically removing the cyst can cure the area, but the entire cyst sac and all of its contents need to be removed to ensure the cyst won’t grow back Click here to subscribe to Dr. Pimple Popper: @DrPimplePopper/ Join All Access Memberships here: Click here to see my favorite POPS: Most Popular Pops: Blackheads: DPOW’s: Steatocystomas: Cysts: Lipomas: Soft Pops: Poppin Off' Show with Dr Pimple Popper: __ Connect with Dr. Pimple Popper on Social Media: Follow Dr. Pimple Popper on Instagram: Follow Dr. Pimple Popper on TikTok: Follow Dr. Pimple Popper on Facebook: Follow Dr. Pimple Popper on Twitter: Follow Dr. Sandra Lee on Instagram: Subscribe to SLMD YouTube to never miss a skincare video: @SLMDskincare More ways to connect with me: Download the Dr. Pimple Popper All Access App: Click here to begin free trial of All-Access: Welcome to the world of Dr. Pimple Popper, the one and only Sandra Lee, MD!
