Sabaceous Cysts
by HelpinUtah, Apr 09, 2009 12:27PM
I have a sabaceous cyst on my upper, middle back. Actually, there appears to be two of them. Years ago, my family doctor looked at them and said that they could remove them, but that they would just come back again. Lately, it seems that they are itching all the time and the past couple days they are sore, swollen and red. Is this something to worry about or is it normal? I can't get in to see my doctor unitl next month - she's out of town.
Thanks for any advice or ideas you can give me.

Sebaceous cysts may grow, become painful or infected. In your case, this may be infected and requires oral antibiotics or other treatment before and/or after excision. Placement of a heat-pad directly on the cyst for about fifteen minutes, twice daily may also help. However, if your symptoms persist, have this evaluated for proper management. Try not to pop the cyst to prevent further infection. Take care and keep us posted.
