Brief Answer:
Excision of the Sebaceous Cysts (Surgery) is the only option .

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for your query ,based on the facts that you have posted it appears that you have multiple Sebaceous Cysts over Scrotal wall since many years .

The scrotal skin is rich in sebaceous glands and hence prone to get more sebaceous cyst due to accumulation of sebum beneath the skin. Normally they fade away without treatment however they need to be treated if increase in size or get infected.

You need to consult qualified General Surgeon for clinical assessment and get the bigger one get excised in Toto (Completely along with the sac ).

This is a simple surgery done under local anaesthesia as a out patient procedure and offers permanent cure .The cost of surgery will depend upon the number of cyst to be excised and the Hospital where you get operated upon .It should be roughly 10-15 Thousand XXXXXXX Rupees.

The surgery will be covered under insurance and you can resume your routine work on the day of surgery itself. It will take a week for complete recovery .

Hope I have answered your query ,please feel free to ask if you have more questions , I shall be happy to help you .
Thanks and Regards.
