Hello,
Thanks for the query,
Sebaceous cyst is a collection of dead material under the skin.
Dont worry its not a dangerous condition.
Treatment is mainly surgical.
It can be removed with the wall of the cyst, through a small incision.
Please meet a dermatologist for exact diagnosis.
Let me know if you have any other doubt.
