What is the best treatment for sebaceous cyst?

Question

Hi doctor,

I have sebaceous cyst in my face near cheeks. It is painless and about 5 mm in size. It looks awkward in my face. I need to remove it. Please suggest me the best treatment for the same.

Kindly help.

Answer 1

Hi,

I am glad you chose icliniq for your medical-related queries.

I understand your concern and will try to help you with it.

Best treatment would be lasering the cyst and manually removing the capsule so that it does not recur again. Debridement of the fat is also vital to achieving the normal contour of the cheek.

Thank you for consulting me.

Answer 2

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

I read and understand your concern.

Your friend could be having an acne cyst for which he could have taken the medication which would have helped. But in your case, it is the sebaceous cyst (going by your word) which is a fat cyst. So, the fat has to be removed along with the capsule. A more economic way is to go for a radio frequency cautery from an experienced dermatosurgeon who will remove the cyst and the contents along with the capsule well. If you are not sure whether the cyst is sebaceous cyst or acne, I suggest you visit a dermatologist for diagnosis.

Looking forward to your response in order to help you.

Thank you.
