Sebaceous Cyst Treatment
A sebaceous cyst is a small, non-cancerous lump that develops beneath the skin due to blocked oil (sebaceous) glands or hair follicles. It commonly appears on the face, neck, scalp, back, or chest.
Although usually harmless, it may become painful or infected if left untreated.
