Is Bleeding Sebaceous Cyst Dangerous?
I have a sebaceous cyst on my lower back..I went to the doctor and he said it was fine and to put a warm compress on it. But now it has grown, it has a purplish color and oozes blood from time to time. I was it a couple times a day..it gets more irritating. What should I do?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
You should have it surgically removed, as this treatment cures it. It is not a dangerous condition, but surgical excision of the cyst is to be advised. It can usually be performed using local anesthetic.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
