Sebaceous cysts are generally harmless, slow-growing lumps that develop under the skin. They often appear on the scalp, face, ears, neck, and other hair-bearing areas of the body. Also known as epidermal inclusion cysts, these cysts can sometimes become infected if they persist for an extended period, leading to pain and discomfort. It’s important to note that sebaceous cysts are benign and not cancerous.
The most effective treatment for a sebaceous cyst is surgical excision. A skilled plastic surgeon can completely remove the cyst, typically leaving only a fine scar.
