CYST EXPLAINED

What Is a Cyst?

A cyst is a closed sac under the skin, usually filled with fluid, keratin, or pus.

Common types include:

  • Sebaceous (epidermoid) cysts
  • Pilar cysts (commonly on the scalp)
  • Inclusion cysts

They can occur anywhere, but are most commonly seen on the face, scalp, neck, back, and trunk.

Most cysts are benign  but they don’t resolve permanently without proper treatment.

My mother underwent ankle surgery, following which she developed a wound infection with exposure of the tendon. We consulted Dr. Rajesh Vasu for management of the infected wound. After a thorough examination, Dr. Vasu advised a staged treatment plan. The first procedure involved surgical debridement and thorough cleaning of the infected wound, followed by application of a VAC (vacuum‑assisted closure) machine to prevent further infection and promote healing. Once the wound was adequately cleaned and the infection was controlled, Dr. Vasu explained that application of Dermacell was necessary to ensure faster and proper wound healing. Accordingly, Dermacell was applied as the second stage of treatment, and the VAC machine was reapplied. Finally, after completion of these procedures, Dr. Vasu performed skin grafting surgery to achieve complete wound closure. My mother is recovering well, and I am very thankful to Dr. Rajesh Vasu, Dr. Astha, Satheesh, and the entire medical staff for their care, dedication, and support.

I underwent a tummy tuck and breast lift surgery at Apollo Hospitals, Financial District, under the care of Dr. Rajesh Vasu. From the very first consultation, I felt completely at ease with him. His calm and reassuring approach gave me the confidence to move forward, and I knew I was in safe hands. The entire experience at the hospital was truly commendable. The staff was extremely cooperative, attentive, and supportive throughout my stay. On the third day, I was feeling quite homesick and wanted to return home, but the staff patiently counseled me and convinced me to stay one more day for better recovery. I’m glad I listened to them. The surgery itself went very smoothly, and the results were visible immediately after I woke up. My recovery has been comfortable—I was on medication for a week, after which I didn’t feel the need to continue, as I experienced minimal pain. I am extremely happy with the results of my tummy tuck and breast lift procedures. I also underwent 360-degree liposuction, and as advised by the doctor, I understand that the final results will take some time to fully appear. I would also like to mention Dr. Vasu’s assistant, Deepika, who was incredibly helpful and supportive throughout the process. Everything was well-organized, and the hospital maintained excellent hygiene standards. I truly feel fortunate to have chosen Dr. Rajesh Vasu for my surgery. I am very happy with my experience and will be sharing a detailed review of my liposuction results once they are fully visible.
