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.

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, Pune, 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.

Yes. A sebaceous cyst can burst or get ruptured under the skin if it gets infected. In such cases, the cyst must be drained and lanced properly. And you will have to take an antibiotic course to make sure that the redness, swelling, and inflammation subsides.
A cyst that is larger than 5 cm will require surgical removal. Compared to larger cysts, smaller cysts can be easily drained and removed with minimal chances of recurrence. However, a large-sized sebaceous cyst may not be drained completely and if the contents of the cyst are left behind, then the cyst may grow again. Therefore, the best thing to do is to contact a doctor and get their expert opinion to get rid of the cyst.
The average cost of sebaceous cyst excision will range from Rs. 30,000 to Rs. 40,000 approximately. However, the final cost of the treatment may vary as it depends on various factors like size, location, number of cysts, hospital charges, surgeon’s fee, medication required, etc. You can contact the healthcare provider directly to get an estimate of the treatment, particularly for your case.

You can take a shower at any time after sebaceous cyst removal but it is recommended that you don’t take a proper bath for at least 2 weeks. Normally, the bandages will be covered with water-proof tapes to ensure that the incision doesn’t get infected.
The smell that comes from the cyst is of the protein, i.e., keratin that accumulates in the cyst. The cysts are normally made of fat and the protein and fat combined give a foul odor to the discharge.
Most probably no. A sebaceous cyst won’t come back after surgery as long as the surgeon removes the entire content of the cyst and the infected tissues. If only a small amount of content is left after the procedure, there will be chance of recurrence.
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.

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.
