Sebaceous Cyst: Causes, Symptoms & Treatment Options

What is a Sebaceous Cyst
A sebaceous cyst is a small, non-cancerous lump that forms under the skin due to a blocked gland or hair follicle. It usually grows slowly and is painless, but can become red, painful, or infected.

Common Areas: scalp, face, neck, back, chest, and shoulders.

Symptoms

Small, round lump under the skin

Slow growth

Foul-smelling discharge (sometimes)

Pain & swelling if infected

Treatment

Most sebaceous cysts are harmless. However, if they become infected, grow in size, or cause discomfort, medical removal is advised. Surgical excision is the most effective method to prevent recurrence.
