What is Sebaceous Cyst?

A sebaceous cyst is a non-cancerous, slow-growing lump formed when the sebaceous gland becomes blocked. These cysts contain keratin and oily material, often appearing on the face, scalp, neck, or torso. They may remain painless but can become infected, swollen, or tender. Removal becomes necessary when the cyst grows, causes discomfort, or shows signs of inflammation or infection.

Symptoms of Sebaceous Cyst

Symptoms include a round, smooth lump under the skin, slow enlargement, possible foul-smelling discharge, redness, and tenderness if infected. The cyst may feel firm or soft depending on its stage. Pain typically increases with infection or rupture. Although harmless, untreated infected cysts can lead to swelling, abscess formation, and discomfort, making early medical assessment important for safe removal.

Causes of Sebaceous Cyst

Sebaceous cysts typically develop when a hair follicle or skin gland becomes blocked, trapping sebum beneath the skin. Common causes include skin trauma, acne, or inflammation that disrupts normal oil gland function. They may also form due to hormonal changes, excessive oil production, or genetic conditions such as steatocystoma. In some cases, infections or damaged hair follicles contribute to cyst formation, leading to swelling and discomfort.

Diagnosis for Sebaceous Cyst

Diagnosis begins with physical examination where the doctor checks the cyst’s size, texture, and mobility. Ultrasound may be used to determine depth or contents. In rare cases, biopsy may rule out other skin conditions. The evaluation helps differentiate sebaceous cysts from lipomas, infections, or tumors. Proper diagnosis ensures accurate treatment planning and minimizes risks during removal procedures.

Treatment of Sebaceous Cyst

Treatment includes incision and drainage, cyst excision, or minimally invasive removal methods. Complete cyst wall removal prevents recurrence. Causes include blocked sebaceous glands, trauma, oily skin, hormonal changes, or genetics. Cysts may enlarge with time or infection. Surgical removal remains the most effective solution for symptomatic, recurring, or cosmetically concerning cysts.

When to See the Doctor?
