What Causes Cysts On The Abdomen, Hands And Beneath The Breasts?

Dear Doctor I am a 47 year old female (1.48m and 40 kg) from Singapore in Asia. I have been diagnosed with steatocystoma multiplex only last November 2010. I notice past half year, these cysts have been growing and spreading fast. I have them on my abdomen where the belly button sits and they are hurting. A string under the left arm, a few on right arm, huge ones under the arm, tiny ones growing beneath the breasts, 2 on the left groin and one on front of my throat. . I am getting anxious as I know they are incurable. SOme of these itch and look like mozzie bites which turn red but go off once the itch settles. In my country, few plastic surgeons or dermatologists wish to deal with this condition. I would be most grateful if any doctor can advise if there are any experts or specialists in Asia , US or Europe who work with patients to treat this condition ie vide surgery or other techniques I can consult and engage to remove these cysts? I appreciate the contact details of these specialists. Thank you Athena Weng Singapore

HI,Dear,Welcome with your query to HCM.
Based on the facts of your query,You need to treat the complications of the Steatocystoma and not the recurring sebocystomatosis,as its a autosomal dominant disease,tranferred and inherited from your parents.
Treatment-
You cant treat the disease,as it is inherited.
But those growing,causing pressure pains/,abscesses in it/those causing disfigurement need to be treated.
Consult a Surgeon who would assess the trouble shooter cysts and would treat it surgically accordingly.
Hope this reply would help you.
Welcome for any further query in this regard.

Will appreciate writing your feedback review comments,to help the needy patients like you at HCM.
