Lipomas, Cysts & Abscesses

What Are Lipomas, Cysts & Abscesses?

• A lipoma is a soft, fatty, non-cancerous lump that grows under the skin.

• A sebaceous cyst is a fluid-filled sac caused by blocked glands, often forming on the scalp, neck, or back.

• An abscess is a painful, pus-filled infection that may require immediate drainage.

At Jayaram Hospital, Karimnagar, we offer accurate diagnosis and safe outpatient procedures to treat these conditions with minimal discomfort and fast recovery.
