Local anesthesia: Typically the skin around the cyst is numbed by injecting a small amount of lidocaine around the cyst, and into the skin where the small incision will be made with a scalpel. You may experience some temporary, minor discomfort, followed by numbness from the lidocaine. You may feel pressure and small tugging during removal of the cysts, but you should not expect a lot of pain. Good luck!
