Usually arising from sebaceous glands, sebaceous cysts are often harmless and take a long time to grow and develop. They normally do not cause any severe problems as such, but if they tend to be bothersome and painful, then you consult a doctor for treatment and diagnosis.

Sebaceous cyst is a small lump or bump under the skin. This type of cyst is not cancerous.

Unfortunately, pilonidal cysts do come back after surgery. Studies show recurrence rates are as high as 30 percent. The cysts may return because the area gets infected again or hair grows near the incision scar. People who have recurrent pilonidal cysts often develop chronic wounds and draining sinuses. Let's have a detailed discussion to ensure proper treatment plan.

A sebaceous cyst is a closed sac under the skin filled with a cheese-like or oily, semi-solid material called sebum. Sebum is produced by sebaceous glands of the epidermis.

lybrate-user,
If cosmetically objectionable, get it removed by a senior cosmetic plastic surgeon who will use fine sutures and place incision in possible hidden or less visible areas.
