Harper's Point Cysts at AFC Urgent Care

Fast, easy cyst removal

AFC Harper's Point provides on-site abscess and cyst removal. There are three main types of cysts -- sebaceous cysts, pilar cysts, and digital mucous cysts. Each of them appears differently and in different areas of the body. At first glance, it can be difficult to distinguish an abscess, cyst, or boil, so it is important to have it examined and diagnosed by a doctor. Schedule your consultation now or walk right in!

Abscess vs Cyst: What's the Difference?

While at first glance cysts and abscesses may seem the same, they actually are very different both in how they form and how they function. Cysts are closed pockets of tissue that are filled with pus or fluid that grow very slowly and are painless (unless they become enlarged).

Skin abscesses, or boils, on the other hand, are painful, swollen, and often cause other symptoms of infection, such as fever and chills. Where cysts can feel like painless pea under the skin, abscesses are tender, red, and warm to the touch.
