Medical Conditions - Epidermoid Cyst

An epidermoid cyst is a noncancerous lump that appears as small bumps under the skin. It is slow growing and painless, and sometimes a thick yellow smelly material may drain from the cyst. The epidermoid cyst can be avoided by not squeezing and placing a warm cloth around it. Surgical excision can be performed in complicated or severe cases to prevent a recurrence.
