Treatment

Diagnosis

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:

  • Ultrasound- An ultrasound will help the doctor to take a look at the cyst contents.
  • CT Scan- A CT scan or other imaging tests are usually recommended when the surgeon suspects that the cyst may require surgical treatment. This test helps the doctor to identify the abnormalities in the cyst and identify the best route for treatment.
  • Punch Biopsy- A punch biopsy may be required to confirm whether the skin lump is cancerous or not. A small amount of tissue will be taken from the cyst and examined to look for signs of cancer.

After seeing the results of these tests, the doctor will suggest the most plausible treatment method for the patient.

Surgery

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:

  • Conventional Wide Excision- In this procedure, the surgeon makes a large incision around the lump, drains its contents, and excises the skin that is inflamed or infected.
  • Minimally Invasive Excision- As the name suggests, the procedure is carried out through a tiny incision. The cyst is drained and only the infected skin tissues are excised, thereby treating the sebaceous cyst.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use a needle to drain a sebaceous cyst?

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.

What happens if a sebaceous cyst pops out?

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.

Who should I consult to explore the treatment options for sebaceous cysts?

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.

Where can I undergo sebaceous cyst surgery in Hyderabad?

We have multiple clinics and hospitals working in association with us that houses advanced technologies and follow all safety measures.

Which is the best treatment method for sebaceous cyst- draining or surgery?

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.

How much does sebaceous cyst surgery cost in Hyderabad?

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.

Can I use health insurance to get sebaceous cyst treatment at Pristyn Care?

Yes. You can use health insurance to cover the entire cost of sebaceous cyst surgery in Hyderabad while getting treatment at Pristyn Care. We accept all major insurance and our medical coordinators also provide complete assistance with all the paperwork and claim process to take away all the hassles of dealing with insurance providers.

What can happen if a cyst is left untreated?

If a cyst is left untreated for a long time, it can become infected and get filled with bacteria and pus. This can lead to the formation of an abscess that can burst inside the body and cause blood poisoning. This can pose a risk to your life. Therefore, it is always suggested that you seek help from an expert.

Can sebaceous cyst occur on the scrotum? 

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.

Can sebaceous cyst burst on its own? 

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.

Can sebaceous cysts be painful? 

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.

Is it possible to treat infected sebaceous cysts with antibiotics?

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.

Is sebaceous cyst contagious?

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.

Is there any homeopathic medicine for a sebaceous cyst? 

There are several homeopathic medicines available for sebaceous cysts.

  • Silicea
  • Baryta Carb
  • Graphites
  • Thuja
  • Hepar Sulph
  • Kali Bromatum
  • Lobelia Inflata

However, there is no scientific evidence that these medicines work effectively to treat sebaceous cysts.

What are the common home remedies for a sebaceous cyst?

The different home remedies that can help to manage and control the symptoms of pain caused by sebaceous cyst are:

  • Warm compress
  • Application of castor oil, tea tree oil, turmeric, coconut oil,
  • Drinking apple cider vinegar
  • Take bath in Epsom salt
  • Apply aloe vera gel

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.

Can I remove the sebaceous cyst myself? 

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.

Which doctor should I consult for sebaceous cyst treatment?

You can consult a dermatologist and a plastic surgeon for sebaceous cyst treatment. Both these types of doctors have ample knowledge and expertise in removing all kinds of cysts.

How do I find the best sebaceous cyst doctor in Hyderabad?

When you are trying to find the best sebaceous cyst doctor in Hyderabad, try following the tips below:

  • Ask your primary care provider, family, or friends for recommendations.
  • Check the doctor’s qualifications, certification, and license.
  • See how many years of experience the doctor has and how many surgeries he/she has performed over the years.
  • Book a consultation with the doctor and check the quality of care he/she provides.
  • Analyze the quality of medical care at the hospital or clinic the doctor is associated with.
  • See if the treatment with the specific doctor is affordable or not.

Is sebaceous cyst surgery safe?

Yes. Sebaceous cyst surgery is completely safe as it is performed by experienced surgeons who have excellent skills and ample knowledge. Moreover, the techniques available for sebaceous cyst removal are also minimally invasive. Therefore, the chances of removing the cyst successfully are higher.

Does sebaceous cyst return after surgery?

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.

  • Follow your normal diet unless the surgeon instructs you to make some changes for faster healing.
  • Do not engage in activities that can strain the skin around the stitches. This will cause pain and blood drainage from the incision.
  • You may also risk opening up your wound.
  • Take the medications as prescribed by the doctor without fail.
  • Always follow up with the doctor after a specific period of time to monitor the progress.
  • Notify your doctor or seek immediate medical care if you have a consistently high fever, redness or excessive swelling around the incision, or immense pain abruptly.

Sebaceous Cyst Vs. Epidermoid Cyst

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.

How to prepare for sebaceous cyst removal?

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:

  • Stop smoking and drinking alcohol.
  • Do not try to press or pop the cyst.
  • Do not eat anything 8 hours before the surgery.
  • Avoid wearing makeup on the day of surgery.
  • Wear loose and comfortable clothes that you can change easily before and after the procedure.
  • Keep your insurance papers ready prior to admission to the hospital.

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.

Sebaceous Cyst Surgery Recovery Time & Tips

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:

  • Keep the wound covered with a dry bandage. There may be some drainage from the wound for a couple of days. So, you’ll have to change the bandages frequently.
  • If gauze is placed over the wound, you may have to get it removed after some time. Or the doctor will tell you how to remove the gauze yourself.
  • If oral antibiotics or pain medications are prescribed by the doctor, make sure that you take the medicines as directed.
  • Do not push your body to its limits. In the initial days, the body itself will tell you when to resume a specific activity.
  • There will be no restrictions on diet. But it will be better if you eat a healthy and balanced diet with plenty of fiber and water content.
  • Take follow-ups with the doctor after the first week and then as suggested to monitor the recovery and identify complications (if any) before they become serious.

You can contact the doctor for help at any time during the recovery as well.
