The removal of an epidermal cyst on the earlobe is a minor surgical procedure performed to eliminate a small, firm bump that forms beneath the skin due to trapped keratin. After cleaning and numbing the area with local anesthesia, a small incision is made over the cyst. The surgeon carefully squeezes out the thick, white keratin material and removes the cyst wall (sac) to prevent recurrence. Once the cyst is completely excised, the wound is cleaned and may be closed with a few fine sutures for better healing and minimal scarring. The area typically heals within one to two weeks, leaving the earlobe smooth and free from the previous swelling or discomfort.
