If a dermatologist takes out the “sac” of your cyst, will you never get a cyst there again?

Question

I’ve seen videos where derms take out a cyst or enlarged blackheads sax. Does that mean there will never be a growth like that in that exact spot?

Answer 1

sac is technically a empty space and if you leave an empty space and just remove the fluid/pus collected inside, it will collect fluid/pus again. this is not in all case, but in some they do this thing called Marsupialization, where they just remove the roof of the cyst and let it drain naturally. if it doesn’t heal/ there’s collection again, they’ll just remove the cyst as a whole.
