What Causes The Growth Of A Sebaceous Cyst?
Question: please find attached
Brief Answer:
Sebaceous Cyst
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Seems like a Sebaceous Cyst. It originates from the pilosebaceous follicle and contains a putty-like/ cheesy foul smelling stuff.
A Sebaceous Cyst may either gradually increase in size or it may remain static.
They rarely regress on its own. It may get infected and would then become painful. A Sebaceous Cyst needs to be surgically removed along with the lining cyst wall, under local anesthesia.
I suggest you to kindly visit either a Dermatologist or a Surgeon in your vicinity for the needful.
Hope I have answered your query.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Kakkar S., Dermatologist
