Recurring Sebaceous Cyst On The Chin, Had Removed It Earlier. What Other Methods Would Be Helpful?
I am a 32 year old woman. In the last 6 months I got a sabaecous cyst on my chin ( on the right side ). I had one at first and had it removed (cut out) . Within a few weeks of this a new one appeared very close to the same spot but not exactly in the same spot. I have gone back to the same dermatologist to have this one removed but she is concerned by the small pimples around it. She said they may also turn into cysts . The doctor is going to remove it on AUG 21. I was looking to find a less invasive method to stop these things but there is too much info on the web and I just don t know what I should try. I have read that dry heat helps, chickweed might help and also castor oil. I am afraid of making it worse. What should I do? ? Jennifer

Hello,
Thanks for the query,
It is a collection of dead material under the skin.
When you press this material comes out as black debris.
Dont worry its not a dangerous condition.
Treatment is mainly surgical.
It can be removed with the wall of the cyst, through a small incision.
Please meet a dermatologist for exact diagnosis.
Let me know if you have any other doubt.
