Forehead cysts are small, benign lumps that develop under the skin of the forehead. They may be epidermoid, sebaceous, or dermoid in type. While usually harmless, these cysts can become noticeable or uncomfortable, especially if they grow, stretch the skin, or are in a visible area.
Cysts on the forehead often develop when skin cells, keratin, or oil become trapped beneath the surface. Sebaceous cysts form when an oil gland within a hair follicle becomes blocked, while epidermoid cysts occur when skin cells are trapped under the skin. Dermoid cysts are congenital, present from birth, and may contain skin, hair, or other tissue.
Removal is recommended if a cyst is growing, causing discomfort, inflamed, or cosmetically concerning. Early removal ensures a smaller, cleaner scar and reduces the risk of infection or recurrence.
Yes. The procedure is performed under local anaesthetic by experienced specialists. The cyst and its lining are carefully removed to minimise recurrence, and the treatment is generally quick, safe, and well-tolerated.
All surgical procedures carry some risk of scarring, but expert removal focuses on fine incisions and careful technique. Most patients experience minimal, discreet scarring that blends naturally with the surrounding skin.
Yes. Occasionally, a forehead cyst can become red, swollen, or tender if irritated or infected. Prompt assessment by a medical professional is important to prevent further complications.

A small, firm lump on the forehead is often a benign cyst, such as an epidermoid, sebaceous, or dermoid cyst. While generally harmless, any new, persistent, or rapidly growing bump should be examined by a specialist to rule out other conditions.
Not necessarily. Slow-growing, asymptomatic cysts do not always require treatment. However, removal may be recommended if the cyst is enlarging, causing discomfort, or affecting appearance. Early treatment generally results in a smaller, cleaner scar.
During consultation, a clinician examines the lump and considers medical history and, if necessary, imaging. Identifying the cyst type, epidermoid, sebaceous, or dermoid, helps determine the safest and most effective removal method.
Cysts can develop from blocked hair follicles, skin trauma, or minor injuries. Some people may also have a genetic tendency to form cysts in certain areas of the face or body.
Yes. Dermoid cysts, which are present from birth, can contain a mixture of tissues such as skin, hair follicles, and sometimes fat. These are different from more common sebaceous or epidermoid cysts.
