Simple cyst on Areola Removal Cost and procedure? (photo)

September 16, 2014
Asked By:jcka1 in San Jose, CA

Hello, I was told it is a cyst that I have on my areola. But it is not covered since it's considered "cosmetic" since it's not affecting anything. Regardless, i really dislike how it looks and want it removed. Can I get more information on cost and procedure? It is the size of a pea. It doesn't hurt. From time to time, a little bit of white stuff comes out, like a pimple. If anybody has had this removed, give me your story! I'm nervous.
