How To Treat Epidermal Cyst?
My doctor diagnosed a epidermal cyst on my forehead, but it is odorless and painless ( in opposed to the Internet s describing) could my doctor be wrong or has it just not started to smell yet? It is also very red and embarrassing and I have no idea how to make it regular skin color

Hello,
Thanks for writing here.
Odor of cyst is due to its cheesy material.It is felt only when contents protrude out.Pain occurs only when cyst is ruptured.You can keep trust on your doctor and go for its excision.
Hope this will help you.Take care.
