What is a sebaceous cyst?
A sebaceous cyst is a small, non-cancerous lump under the skin, often caused by a blocked sebaceous gland. These cysts typically contain a soft, yellowish, oily material called sebum. Sebaceous cysts are usually painless unless they become infected or inflamed. They commonly appear on the scalp, face, neck, back, or upper chest.
Symptoms:
- A small, round lump under the skin.
- White or yellow material inside (sebum).
- Sometimes redness, swelling, and tenderness if inflamed or infected.
Causes:
- Blocked sebaceous glands (oil glands).
- Trauma to the skin.
- Genetic conditions, like Gardner’s syndrome.
Treatment:
- Observation: If painless and not causing issues, no treatment may be needed.
- Drainage: Temporary relief by draining the cyst, though it may return.
- Surgical Removal: Permanent solution to prevent recurrence, often recommended for large or recurring cysts.

Surgical Treatment for Sebaceous Cysts
Surgery is the most effective and permanent solution for removing sebaceous cysts, especially if they are large, recurrent, or infected. There are different surgical options depending on the size and condition of the cyst.
1. Excisional Surgery (Standard Removal)
- Procedure:
- The area around the cyst is cleaned and numbed with a local anesthetic.
- A small incision is made to remove the cyst along with its sac.
- The wound is sutured (stitched) to promote healing.
- Duration: 20-40 minutes.
- Recovery Time: 1-2 weeks.
2. Minimal-Incision Technique (Drainage and Sac Removal)
- Procedure:
- A small incision is made, and the cyst contents are drained.
- The cyst wall (sac) is also removed to prevent recurrence.
- Used For: Smaller or uncomplicated cysts.
3. Laser-Assisted Cyst Removal
- Procedure:
- A laser is used to create a small incision.
- The cyst contents are drained, and the sac is removed through the small incision.
- Advantages:
- Minimal scarring and faster healing.
- Reduced risk of infection.
Sebaceous Cyst Myths & Facts
| Myth | Fact |
|---|---|
| Sebaceous cysts are caused by poor hygiene. | They are caused by blocked oil glands, trauma, or genetic factors, not hygiene. |
| Cysts can be squeezed out like pimples. | Squeezing can cause infection and inflammation; the sac needs surgical removal to prevent recurrence. |
| Sebaceous cysts can turn into cancer. | They are benign and rarely become cancerous. Regular checks can rule out serious conditions. |
| Cysts will go away on their own. | Most cysts do not resolve without medical intervention. |
| Laser surgery is too expensive and unnecessary. | Laser removal can be affordable, minimally invasive, and ideal for sensitive areas. |
