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.

At Pristyn Care, we leverage minimal excision and wide-excision techniques to effectively remove the sebaceous cyst and its wall.
We have well-trained plastic surgeons with 10+ years of experience and ample knowledge to perform the surgery safely. Our doctors compile a customized treatment plan for each patient.
Sebaceous cyst removal surgery is a minimally invasive procedure. There is no major scarring after the treatment. Thus, the surgery has no aesthetic downside.
Our doctors ensure that the cyst is properly removed, along with the cyst wall. Thus, the recurrence rate is almost negligible.
Even if you feel tempted to remove the cyst at home, you should never attempt to remove the cyst at home. If you try to pop or drain the cyst yourself, it can cause infection and the cyst will most certainly come back. The best thing you can do at home is keep it clean and use a warm bathwater washcloth to keep it warm. This will have a soothing effect and speed up the healing of the cyst.
The basic difference between sebaceous cysts and epidermoid cysts is that epidermoid cysts are filled with dead skin cells and sebaceous cysts are filled with sebum, which is a yellowish oily material.
As sebaceous cysts are a skin problem, they can be treated by a dermatologist as well as a plastic surgeon. You can consult them to discuss the right course of action to get rid of the cyst permanently.
You can find the best plastic surgeons for sebaceous cyst treatment in Kolkata at Pristyn Care. We house some of the best doctors who have ample experience and are skilled in traditional as well as modern surgical procedures. Therefore, you can get rid of the cyst in a minimally invasive manner.
Normally, a sebaceous cyst is not cancerous. However, once it becomes infected, the chances of the cyst becoming cancerous increase. Few instances have been seen of sebaceous cyst becoming cancerous. Therefore, it is important that you discuss such concerns with a specialist.
In Kolkata, sebaceous cyst treatment may cost around Rs. 30,000 to Rs. 40,000 approximately. You should know that it is an estimated cost that may vary from one patient to another based on various factors.
If you undergo sebaceous cyst removal surgery for cosmetic reasons, the cost won’t be covered under insurance. However, if the cyst is symptomatic and causing problems in your daily life, you can use the health insurance policy to pay for sebaceous cyst treatment in Kolkata.
The surgery itself is not painful at all as it is carried out under anesthesia. Your body will be numbed before the surgery and you will regain sensations after a couple of hours when the effects of anesthesia wear off. Then, you may start feeling pain or discomfort. If so, the doctor will prescribe some pain medications to provide you relief.
Yes. You can consult with Pristyn Care doctors online as well as offline. We provide an online consultation service to ensure that in case some people fail to visit the clinic at the right time, they can still discuss their problem with the doctor over a virtual call.
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.
Many people believe that it is possible to treat sebaceous cysts and other benign cysts at home. However, you should be aware that doing so only makes them worse. Picking, rubbing, or squeezing the cyst will cause more damage and aggravate the symptoms. The only home remedy that can work is ‘keeping the cyst clean and dry’. Until you feel ready to see a doctor, make sure that you practice good hygiene to prevent the cyst from getting infected. If the cyst is already infected, keep it clean. Wash it with a clean cloth and dab it dry. brOther than this, no other home remedies work for sebaceous cysts. So, if the cyst is not infected or causing pain, you can wait for them to go away on their own. However, if the cyst is infected, it is advisable that you visit a doctor promptly to get proper treatment.
At Pristyn Care, you can get advanced treatment for sebaceous cyst in Kolkata. We have highly experienced plastic surgeons who are trained in all kinds of traditional and modern surgical procedures. The two of the most common procedures performed for sebaceous cyst treatment are conventional wide excision and minimal excision. Both these procedures are safe and effectively remove the cyst and cyst wall. brThe doctor will diagnose the cyst thoroughly and then recommend the most appropriate treatment method. Our doctors will explain everything about the surgery. Once you learn all about the treatment procedure, risks, complications, and benefits, you can make an informed decision. brThe doctors will only proceed after you feel satisfied with the options and give your consent. You will undergo surgery at one of our partnered hospitals or clinics in Kolkata. Pristyn Care also ensures that all of our associated medical centers have state-of-the-art facilities and provide optimal care. So, you can rest assured knowing that you are in good hands.
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 average 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.
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.
