A Cyst is a closed sac that is filled with fluid, pus, sebum or any other material, creating a “lump or bump” under the skin. Cyst may feel like a small, smooth swelling under the skin surface varying in size from a small pea to a large cricket ball. Cysts often occur on the face, scalp and or anywhere in the body. Usually they tend to remain of same size or gradually increase in size.
