Hi,Good Evening.Thanks for the query to HCM.I studied it in depth and I understood your health concerns.
-Treatment -for sebaceous cyst in center of Chest-
1- I would advise you to let the infection subside and cool down first.
2-So I would treat it with proper antibiotics with Metronidazole and NSAIDs tbs.
3-I would Excise the sebaceous Cyst -in a planned way-so as to avoid more scarring .I would be able to put "Sub-cuticular Cosmetic Stitches" as to avoid any disfiguring Scar- in the central chest area between the breasts.
3-Dont get scared and uneasy,but be cautious and act fast.
Hope this would help you a lot to relieve you.
Wish you fast recovery-and healthy life.
Wellcome to HCM with more queries till you are satisfied.
Have a Good Day...!!
