Where is anaesthesia usually given for removal of small sebaceous cyst form back?
8 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Local only: Cysts can be taken out using local anesthesia (numbing the area by injection of lidocaine). You don't need anything more elaborate.

Local anesthesia: Frequently a small amount of local anesthesia around the cyst will provide sufficient anesthesia for this procedure.
