A sebaceous cyst is a skin cyst that appears when the sebaceous gland gets blocked or damaged. It commonly appears around the face, ear, trunk, head, or groin region. It grows slowly and rarely causes pain. Small cysts may also disappear after some time but in case the size is large, you may have to opt for draining or surgical procedure, especially if the cyst is swollen or painful.
You can get in touch with Pristyn Care and consult our expert plastic surgeons to find out the most plausible treatment method for sebaceous cysts.
Treatment
For proper diagnosis of a sebaceous cyst, the doctor will first ask for your medical history and perform a physical examination. The appearance of the cyst is usually enough to determine whether the lump on your skin is a sebaceous cyst or not.
If the physical exam cannot provide clear evidence, the doctor may suggest the following tests:
After seeing the results of these tests, the doctor will suggest the most plausible treatment method for the patient.
At Pristyn Care, Bangalore, our plastic surgeons employ the advanced and conventional techniques as required to treat a sebaceous cyst.
In case the cyst is small yet bothersome for the patient, the doctor may use a steroid drug to control and manage the symptoms. If the cyst grows significantly and becomes large, tender, or inflamed, the doctor will suggest draining or surgical removal.
The standard procedures employed by Pristyn Care’s plastic surgeons are:

The success rate of sebaceous cyst excision surgery generally depends on the severity of the condition, the surgeon’s skill, and the technique used for treatment. At Pristyn Care, the overall success rate of surgery is higher as our doctors are highly experienced and employ the safest techniques. However, the success rate at other healthcare facilities may differ.
Generally, the complete recovery after sebaceous cyst removal takes around a couple of weeks. You will be able to resume normal activities from the next day. However, the recovery time may differ if you had a sebaceous cyst in some problematic location. The healing abilities of every person are also different. Therefore, it is best to discuss the recovery period with your doctor.
Surgical removal is most certainly the safest and most effective treatment for sebaceous cysts as well as other kinds of cysts. Through surgery, the entire infected and inflamed skin is removed leaving almost negligible chances of recurrence. In case the cyst returns very quickly after surgery, it may be a sign that the cyst has become cancerous. As a result, you may require further treatment.
Yes. A sebaceous cyst can appear anywhere, including the scrotum. There is another type of cyst, known as an epidermoid cyst that can appear on the scrotum. You should get the cyst diagnosed and seek proper treatment for it to prevent complications.
Yes. Without proper treatment, there are chances that the sebaceous cyst will eventually grow larger and burst on its own. After the rupture, the cyst may start draining and continue growing as the cyst wall won’t be detached.
Sebaceous cysts usually don’t hurt at all. However, they may become tender and cause soreness in the skin if they get infected. You may also experience foul-smelling discharge from the cyst due to infection.
No. Antibiotics are needed to treat the infection present in the sebaceous cyst. As long as the cyst is infected, the surgeon won’t be able to remove it without risking the spread of the infection. Therefore, antibiotics are prescribed first to control the infection, then the cyst is excised.
No. A sebaceous cyst is not contagious. However, if the cyst gets infected, the infection can spread to the surrounding tissues and cause irritation in the skin.
There are several homeopathic medicines available for sebaceous cysts.
However, there is no scientific evidence that these medicines work effectively to treat sebaceous cysts.
The different home remedies that can help to manage and control the symptoms of pain caused by sebaceous cyst are:
Using these home remedies may alleviate the pain by reducing the inflammation. But make sure that you ask your doctors before trying out these things.
No. You should never try to remove a cyst yourself as it can cause inflammation and infection. Moreover, it will be impossible for you to maintain a sterile environment and lance the cyst completely at home. This will only increase the chances of recurrence.
You can consult a dermatologist and a plastic surgeon for sebaceous cyst treatment. Both these types of doctors have ample knowledge and expertise in removing all kinds of cysts.
When you are trying to find the best sebaceous cyst doctor in Bangalore, try following the tips below:
Yes. Sebaceous cyst surgery is completely safe as it is performed by experienced surgeons who have excellent skills and ample knowledge. Moreover, the techniques available for sebaceous cyst removal are also minimally invasive. Therefore, the chances of removing the cyst successfully are higher.
If the cyst contents are drained and the cyst wall is also removed during the surgical procedure with precision, then the sebaceous cyst will most certainly not recur. However, another cyst can appear in a nearby location due to the damaged sebaceous glands.
A sebaceous cyst (also known as skin cyst, dermoid cyst, or epithelial cyst) arises when the normal process of skin maturation is disrupted. Normally, when the skin matures, the keratinized cells migrate upwards through the skin cells. When they reach the top, the dead cells are shed and the new skin takes their place. However, when the process is disrupted due to acne, trauma, injury, or any other reason, the keratinizing cells stay in the middle of the skin layers and proliferate. This leads to the formation of a sac and the keratin that is secreted by the cells starts accumulating in the center of the cavity. Eventually, the accumulation becomes bigger and appears on the skin surface as lumps that we know as sebaceous cysts.
Most skin cysts are benign and resolve on their own with minimal intervention when they are small and asymptomatic. However, if they become large, inflamed, or infected, they can even cause sepsis on the skin. In few cases, these cysts appear in problematic locations such as the genital region or in the areas where they are clearly visible. This can cause embarrassment and other problems as well. That’s why draining or surgery is often the ideal solution to remove the sebaceous cyst and prevent it from affecting your life. You should understand the consequences of leaving such conditions untreated and learn about them as much as possible from experts.
A sebaceous cyst may not sound like a serious problem at first. However, it can become problematic if not treated on time. After diagnosis, once a person finds out that the skin lump is not life-threatening, he/she is most likely to decide not to get treatment. The cyst usually grows slowly and never goes away on its own affecting the aesthetics of the person. But leaving the cyst untreated for a long time can also increase the chances of the cyst becoming malignant.
Though a sebaceous cyst becomes infected or develops into an abscess occasionally. When it reaches the chronic stage, it will exhibit symptoms like pain, pus or bloody discharge from the cyst, redness, swelling, and inflammation in the cyst. All these signs indicate that your health is at risk and you should promptly seek medical care.

A sebaceous cyst is commonly found on the face, neck, and torso. It usually forms when the sebaceous glands are damaged or traumatized due to cuts, injuries, or surgical wounds. It is a non-cancerous and slow-growing cyst that may cause pain or put pressure on the area.
Unlike a sebaceous cyst, an epidermoid cyst is a slow-growing benign cyst that is commonly found on the face, neck, head, and genitals. It appears when keratin starts to build up under the skin. The epidermoid cyst has a skin-colored, tanned, or yellowish appearance and is filled with thick material. An epidermoid cyst may become swollen or red if it gets inflamed or infected.
To prepare your body for a surgical procedure, the doctor will first ask you to get tested properly. These tests will evaluate your overall health and help the doctor to determine what precautions need to be taken during sebaceous cyst removal.
Other than tests, the doctor may ask the following things to prepare you for the surgery:
Besides these, no further preparations are required for sebaceous cyst removal surgery. The anesthetist will also ask if you have an allergy to some foods or compounds to determine what type of anesthesia will be appropriate to use. Standard tests, like liver function tests, blood tests, blood pressure examinations, etc. will also be performed right before the surgery.
As sebaceous cyst excision is not a major surgery, the patient recovers quickly without any complications. The complete recovery time after sebaceous cyst surgery is 2-3 weeks and that too if the cyst was infected or very large. After a small-sized cyst excision, the patient may only need around 1 week to recover completely. Whereas, you can resume regular activities within 48 hours.
On the day of surgery, you will be asked to take complete rest as the body will still have the lingering effects from anesthesia. Here are some tips that you should follow during the recovery phase to get back to your daily routine as soon as possible:
You can contact the doctor for help at any time during the recovery as well.

Amrika mam is truly professional and highly skilled doctor. First I had a Sebaceous Cyst operated from Maam. The experience was awesome. Later my Father's left index surgery also we got it done from her. Amrika maam highly cautioned and advised us about the Do's and Don'ts post surgery. She is very caring and responds to our query.
