Hello,
If the sebaceous cyst has recurred, so it means that it was not properly taken out. It is important when sebaceous cysts are surgically removed that the entire sac is excised to help prevent a recurrence. Hence unfortunately you need to get the entire sac removed again.
I hope it helps. Take care and regards.
