Minor skin cancer surgery is a procedure that involves removing skin cancer cells from the body. This type of surgery is typically performed on patients who have been diagnosed with skin cancer, but whose cancer is still in its early stages. The aim of the surgery is to prevent the cancer from spreading to other parts of the body, and to reduce the risk of recurrence.
The surgery itself typically involves removing the cancer cells from the affected area using a surgical tool such as a scalpel or laser. The procedure is usually performed under local anesthetic, meaning that the patient remains awake but does not feel any pain during the surgery. Recovery from minor skin cancer surgery is typically quick, with patients usually able to return to their normal activities within a few days to a week.
Cysts are sacs that can appear anywhere on or in the body. They are filled with fluid, air, or other materials, and may be small or large in size. Cysts are typically non-cancerous, although some types may become cancerous if left untreated.

An abscess is a collection of pus inside the body, usually from an infection. If near the surface of the body, pus may break through the surface and drain. Abscesses can develop just about anywhere in the body and can be painful.
