What is Sebaceous Cyst?
A sebaceous cyst is a closed sac under the skin filled with a cheese-like or oily substance called sebum. These cysts usually develop on the face, neck, chest or back, but can occur anywhere on the body.
Symptoms to watch for
- Round lump under skin
- Central punctum visible
- Cheesy discharge if ruptured
- Tenderness if infected
- Recurrent infection
Common causes
- Blocked hair follicle
- Skin trauma
- Genetic factors
Treatment at DLPC
A sebaceous cyst should be removed surgically as early as possible to avoid complications, as it can get infected and form an abscess that may need emergency surgery.
Surgical removal involves making a small incision in the skin and draining or removing the cyst.
Why treat early — Implications
- May become infected, leading to abscess formation and spread of infection to other parts of the body.
