A sebaceous cyst (more accurately an epidermoid cyst) is a small, slow-growing lump under the skin, filled with a thick, cheesy material. They commonly appear on the scalp, face, neck, back or other areas. While usually harmless, they can become enlarged, tender or infected — at which point treatment is recommended.
Simply draining a cyst tends to lead to recurrence, because the cyst wall remains. The reliable solution is to remove the entire cyst including its lining. At Megha Surgical Hospital we perform this as a straightforward minor procedure with a neat result.
