What Causes Sebaceous Cysts On The Labia?
Question: can a sebaceous cyst itch before they form on labia? I went to the doctor today and she said that is what it was but it itched before it formed
Brief Answer:
Sebaceous cysts can cause itching sometimes.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome to Healthcare magic.
I am Dr Ramadevi Wani. I will be answering your concerns today.
I saw the film you have uploaded. Those small bumps look like sebaceous cysts. Do you have pain? Is there pus coming out of those bumps? If so it could be hair follicle infection.
Both conditions can cause some amount of itching.
Sebaceous cysts occur due to block in the ducts. Generally they do not require treatment.
If you have further concerns do write to me.
I will be happy to answer.
Best wishes,
Dr Rama
