What Causes A Sebaceous Cyst On The Abdomen?
Hi
I have a sebaceous cyst on my stomach that was very small to start and now is the size of a half dollar. On 7/21 my doctor gave me a steroid shot because the cyst was red and swollen. The cyst is still red and swollen and the skin is peeling. It also hurts very much. I have an appointment tomorrow to see my dermatologist and I believe he plans on injectiong me with steroid again. I prefer not to have this done as I am concerned about my skin peeling away and the pain. Any other alternatives to this? I have surgery to get it removed on 9/13 but was told inflamation must go down before it can be removed. thanks

Hi,
If there is sebaceous cyst is there, it requires surgery only.
Now it looks cyst is infected so it should be removed with sac to get complete cure.
Under antibiotic medicine covering go for excisio of cyst with removal of sac.
Ok and take care.
