You might have a cyst if you find a white or yellow lump on your skin. Sebaceous cysts are usually harmless and don’t cause pain, but keep an eye out for signs of infection.
You can get treatment for your sebaceous cyst from a medical professional or try home remedies to cure it. But, if left untreated, the cyst could cause further infection.

Sebaceous cyst excision is a surgical procedure that involves removing a sebaceous cyst from the skin. The procedure is typically performed by a dermatologist or plastic surgeon and can be done under local anaesthesia.
During the surgery, the doctor will make a small incision in the skin over the cyst and remove the cyst and its contents. The incision is then closed with stitches.
Sebaceous cyst removal is typically a simple procedure that can be done on an outpatient basis. After the surgery, the patient may take antibiotics to prevent infection and keep the incision covered with a bandage for a few days. The patient will also need to follow the doctor’s instructions for caring for the incision site, such as keeping it clean and dry.
Sebaceous cysts are typically benign (noncancerous) and do not usually cause any harm or pose a health risk. However, some people may choose to have them removed for cosmetic reasons or if the cyst becomes infected or inflamed.
There are several benefits to sebaceous cyst treatment surgery, including:
Sebaceous cyst removal is a minor surgical procedure where a cyst formed under the skin is completely excised to prevent recurrence. The procedure is done under local anesthesia and is usually completed within 30–45 minutes.
No, the procedure is not painful as it is done under local anesthesia. Most patients report only mild discomfort after the surgery, which can be managed with basic painkillers.
Recovery typically takes 2 to 5 days. Most people can resume normal activities within a day or two, depending on the location and size of the cyst.
