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.

If you believe that every kind of skin lump is normal, you should be wary. Not all kinds of skin lumps are harmless. Though sebaceous cysts are normal skin lumps, they also have a potential risk of becoming malignant. When the cyst gets infected, it causes redness and inflammation in the area. Moreover, there is also a risk that the cyst will rupture and the infected cyst content will leak out and spread to the surroundings. Due to the infection that is present in the fluid, there will be a higher risk of blood poisoning and sepsis.
To prevent all this from happening and to make sure that the cyst doesn’t put your health at risk, it is crucial that you seek proper treatment without any delay. Visit the nearest Pristyn Care clinic and consult with any of our doctors in Chennai to explore your treatment options.

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 around 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.
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.
