Surgical excision.
Cysts on the neck are quite common and may be the result of an impacted sweat gland or hair follicle. It can also be a fatty growth called a lipoma or an enlarged lymph node. In any event, they are easily removed via surgical excision. It is a routine procedure. This is typically done with local anesthesia and some sedation to maintain patient comfort, resulting in a small scar over where the cyst was originally located.
I hope that answers your question!! Best of luck.
