Cysts
Most cysts are sacs of tissue containing either oil and skin debris (i.e. epidermal or "sebaceous cysts") or sweat and hair follicle remnants (i.e. pilar cysts on the scalp).
These cysts are very common and can easily be removed during a 1-hour in-office surgical procedure. Occasionally, cysts may become infected and require incision and drainage with or without oral antibiotics.
Mucinous cysts can occur around the fingernails. Most of the time they can be treated successfully with steroid injections. However, some cases may require surgery.
Possible treatments:
surgical excision
steroid injections

Dermatology News:
Increased incidence of Basal Cell Carcinomas in sun tanners
Previous studies have demonstrated an increased incidence of Squamous Cell Carcinomas and Malignant Melanomas in tanning bed users. Now, a recent article shows an increase of early onset of Basal Cell Carcinomas among users of tanning beds.
A new, totally non toxic pediculicide (Lice killer) by the name of ULESFIA is now available in pharmacies.
Teenagers who go to tanning spas accompanied by their mother, have a greater chance to start tanning early and to become heavy tanners.
