From Ayurvedic point of view, PCOD reflects vitiation of rasa and rakta dhatus. When levels of impurities and toxins increase in rasa and rakta dhatus, body stores them in form of cysts around ovaries. So presence of multiple cysts indicate high levels of impurities and toxins in these dhatus. Sign and symptoms in PCOD patients suggest imbalance of all three doshas. Dhatwagnimandya may also exist in some patients. History of improper diet and lifestyle is generally found among majority of PCOD p...more

Health Query

Since childhood I seems to have a lesion on my head scalp. My parents told me it's inherent and I was under the impression that it's a wart/mole. With age it has grown a little and it's of the size of a peanut with my age as 29. I consulted a doc who said it's a sebaceous cyst another doc told me it's soft lipoma/polyp. It does not itch or pain. Does not show the symptoms ABCDE. I do not wanna remove it as it may grow back bigger and I'm.scared of surgery. Request you to suggest if this can be cancerous.

Hello dear lybrate-user, hi
Warm welcome to Lybrate.com
I have evaluated your query thoroughly.* This is not seemingly cancerous at this stage but can turn out in cancer at very long time.* If scarred of surgery, live with it, it will grow bigger and at one stage you may end up in surgery without your desire. Hope this clears your query. Wishing you fine recovery. Welcome for any further assistance. Regards take care.

Anal boils and butt boils pains too much, but my abscess are paining but not unbearably or doesn't cause pus discharge. They look like lump with black dot on center like sebaceous cyst, but grows and tender on touch. Sometimes they pain too much.

I am sorry to hear about your concern but will be happy to assist you.
Perianal abscess is a superficial infection that appears as a tender red lump under the skin near the anus. The infection occurs when bacteria gets trapped in the crypt glands that line the anal canal. The bacteria and fluid (pus) build up and becomes a lump that is red and painful (like a “pimple”).
Let's connect over a call so that we can discuss your concern in details and make a suitable treatment plan for you.

Nothing to worry. Cysts on scrotum can be removed in stage wise manner over a period of few months and heals nicely. Even with cysts he can consume marriage. We have successfully treated this type patients at our centre. However, he has to stop his habit of masturbation. No need for divorce as it is a minor issue.

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. A foul odor is also often present in the substance called keratin which fills sebaceous cysts. Keratin is a protein that creates the sac of cells called sebaceous cysts. The bumps or lumps that can feel under the skin are actually the sac of cells.

Sebaceous cyst arises due to the blockage of the sebaceous gland. It ...more

My mother is having a cyst from 6 months on upper neck region. Not painful but something like a small swelling. But from the past 10 days it became reddish, painful and swelled a bit higher. We consulted a dermatologist, she prescribed antibiotics and ointment (she diagnosed it as INFECTED sebaceous CYST). From two days a small flesh started coming out. She has not advised any surgery. But another doctor recommended surgery. Do surgery is needed? She is taking tablets ZOCEF 500 ,PAN 40 from 6 days. Only swelling reduced but no sign of healing. Kindly advice us. Age 50 years.

Health Query

I have a lump in my upper back just under the skin for the last 5 years. At the beginning I have consulted with a dermatologist and he suspected it as a dermatofibroma and told me to keep an eye over it. Now after 5 years it seems to be grown minutely with mild itching sometimes with redness. On palpitation it seems to be 6 to 8 mm in size. Today I have consulted with a different dermatologist and he assured me that it is a sebaceous cyst and the only option is to remove it if I want (optional) and referred me to surgeon. Now I am very confused and really want to remove it surgically. I have interacted with a group of people's who told that they also told by their dermatologist as a cyst but came as dfsp. And the highly recommended me mohs surgery. Please help me with a doctor who has experience in dfsp surgery and mohs. Please help me.

Hello Lybrate-user,
Before going for a surgery make sure that after surgery will it grow back or not.
As most of the time it does.
It is better to take homoeopathic treatment. It can cure it without surgery.
