What is a Lipoma and a Sebaceous Cyst?

A lipoma is a slow-growing, soft, fatty lump under the skin. It is non-cancerous and moves easily when touched. A sebaceous cyst is a closed sac under the skin filled with a cheese-like, oily material (keratin). It often originates from hair follicles or skin trauma.

Expertise in this Treatment

Dr. Keerthi Reddy provides expert surgical removal of lipomas. The procedure is typically a minor surgery performed under local anesthesia. Dr. Reddy makes a small, precise incision over the lump to carefully enucleate (shell out) the entire lipoma capsule, ensuring complete removal and minimizing the chance of recurrence. The focus is on minimal scarring and a swift recovery, allowing you to return to your daily activities quickly.
