I'm incredibly stressed these days because of an epidermal cyst on my shoulder.
The lump started small but kept getting bigger, and now I experience throbbing pain whenever it rubs against my collar or I carry a bag. I went to the hospital and was told it is an epidermal cyst.
I was told that I shouldn't just leave it alone and that the sac needs to be completely removed. I looked it up online and read that if I just roughly squeeze it out, it will recur quickly, so I absolutely want to have the sac cleanly dissected in one go to eliminate the risk of recurrence.
Since it's on my shoulder, I'm worried that the wound might open up or leave a long scar when I move after surgery.
I want to get rid of it completely without recurrence and remove it cleanly using a micro-incision so there is no scarring. I heard that it is better to go to a plastic surgery clinic rather than a general surgery clinic.
Are there any plastic surgery clinics near Dongtan or Hwaseong that are famous for treating epidermal cysts without recurrence?

Epidermoid cysts tend to recur quite often, so it's important to remove them properly the first time... From what I've seen around me, people tend to go to general surgery clinics when the inflammation is severe, and to plastic surgery clinics when they're concerned about scarring!
I was already on the fence about whether to go to a general surgery or plastic surgery clinic, but thankfully, the inflammation isn't at a severe stage yet, so I'll need to focus on finding a plastic surgeon who can minimize scarring.
Since the shoulder is a highly mobile area, you really need to go to a clinic that's good at both scar management and preventing recurrence! If they just roughly squeeze it out, it'll come back 100%... My husband had a large epidermal cyst on his shoulder, and after much deliberation, he had surgery at Nan Plastic Surgery near Dongtan Station. The director performed a micro-incision and meticulously dissected the cyst sac. Since it's a plastic surgery clinic, the suturing was also incredibly precise, and now the scar is barely noticeable and there's been no recurrence at all!
I've been so worried about recurrence and scarring, but the fact that they say they'll completely remove the pocket really caught my attention. I think I'll try to book a consultation for tomorrow... Thank you!
