Specializes in ENT and Head and Neck Surgery

Cysts, common: Se an ENT, as they could be small sebaceous cysts. They are usually very small, mobile, pimple-like nodules just beneath the skin. They are often non-tender, but if manipulated, can get painful & infected. They often can be removed in the office under local anesthesia.
