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.
Treatment
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, Hyderabad, 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.
The standard procedures employed by Pristyn Care’s plastic surgeons are:
Both these methods are safe and effective in treating a sebaceous cyst treat regardless of its size and leave almost negligible chances of recurrence. If you have been diagnosed with a sebaceous cyst, you can get in touch with Pristyn Care and consult our plastic surgeons to learn more about the excision procedures.

Our doctors ensure that the cyst is properly removed, along with the cyst wall. Thus, the recurrence rate is almost negligible.
No. You should not use a needle to drain the contents of sebaceous cysts yourself. Instead, you can get help from a doctor and they can suggest the fine-needle aspiration method to drain the cyst. In the procedure, a thin needle is inserted into the cyst and the liquid is drained carefully. It is often used when the cyst appears in the breast region. You can learn more about the procedure from expert doctors.
If a sebaceous cyst pops out on its own or you do it yourself, it can lead to an infection. And even if the cyst doesn’t get infected, there are possibilities that the entire cyst won’t be removed when you pop it out. As a result, you may need more extensive dermatological treatment in the future. Therefore, it is suggested that you leave the treatment to the experts.
As cysts appear on the skin, you can consult either a dermatologist or a plastic surgeon for treatment. The doctor will diagnose the condition and suggest the most appropriate treatment method as per the severity of the problem. Most probably, you will have to undergo surgery for the removal of sebaceous cysts.

We have multiple clinics and hospitals working in association with us that houses advanced technologies and follow all safety measures. You only need to contact us and we will provide you the list of medical centers where you can get surgical treatment.
The best treatment method for sebaceous cyst is surgery. You can opt for the draining method but there will be higher chances of failure and recurrence in case the cyst contents are not drained entirely. Through surgery, the content of the cyst as well as the infected skin is excised properly. Therefore, it is a safer and more effective treatment method.
On average, sebaceous cyst surgery will cost around Rs. 30,000 to Rs. 40,000 in Hyderabad. But this price will be different at different hospitals and vary significantly depending on factors like number, size, and location of the cyst along with other factors. Hence, the best thing is that you contact the healthcare provider and get an estimate from them.

If a cyst is left untreated for a long time, it can become infected and get filled with bacteria and pus.

Therefore, it is always suggested that you seek help from an expert.
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.

If the cyst contents are drained and the cyst wall is also removed during the surgical procedure with precision, then the sebaceous cyst will most certainly not recur. However, another cyst can appear in a nearby location due to the damaged sebaceous glands.
A sebaceous cyst may not sound like a serious problem but it sure looks ugly and has other risks like infection, inflammation, or sepsis. In rare cases, these benign skin cysts can also become cancerous. If you don’t want to face such extremities, we suggest that you get the cyst removed as soon as possible.

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.
