What is the best treatment for a sebaceous cyst?

Doctor's Answer

Generally speaking if the sebaceous cyst has complications such as infection, pain that is affecting your quality of life etc, I would advice a simple excision biopsy which is a quick procedure performed under local anesthesia.

Do note that excision biopsy of a sebaceous cyst does have a small risk of recurrence.

You may wish to consult a doctor who performs minor surgical procedures such as excision biopsies or a general surgeon.

Hope this helps!

Dr David Deng
