How Can Painful Sebaceous Cysts In The Abdomen And Groin Be Treated?

My step-son has subsesous cysts on his belt/waist line area and sometimes in his groin. He had surgery to remove one from his tailbone. They are very painful and sometimes seem to "pop" up overnight. The two doctors he has seen refuses to lance them and has only prescribed him with vicodin for the pain, which doesn't seem to help. He has tired hot compress, epsom salts soak, draining them himself (although extemely painful) and now a honey and cinnamon regimine. Nothing seems to help. Any advice to help get rid of these things or even just to reduce them to a tolerant state would be gratefully appreciated!

Hi..If you are sure it's sebaceous cyst then take my advice... Painful sebaceous cyst always better to remove.. Because even if you take medications for controlling pain it will come back again once you stop it..good luck..
