sebaceous cysts in sensitive area

[hmmmidk17]

Hello im an 18yr old guy and recently have developed about 30 small sebaceous cysts on my scrotum.  I saw my doctor about them and he declared they were sebaceous cysts and had no suggestions for treatment.  These small white bumps are unsitely and are interfering with my sexual life.  Ive used warm compress to no avail and im not open to surgical removal.  Does anyone know if they can be removed with some laser therapy?  These little bastards are ruining my love life and self confidence.........help please!!!

Hi
Scrotal sebaceous cyst is a usual pathology, which is susceptible to infection and has associated cosmetic and psychological implications. Sebaceous cysts which are small and causing no problems, it may safely be left alone. Larger cysts, however, may cause friction and be unsightly, so classically require excision under a local anaesthetic. If the cyst wall is removed entirely, the sebaceous cyst should not recur. If some remnant is there, chances of recurrence are there.
The use of laser for the management of these sebaceous cysts is not much common or established.
Non-surgical treatments can involve the use of a heating pad regularly for a few days. This method causes slow reabsorption o the contents of the cyst, which may gradually disappear. This method is preferred over surgical treatments due to the risk of surgery and also when there are multiple cysts. A warm washcloth can also be used as an alternative.
You may discuss these options with your doctor.

sorry but heating pads??? I cant see how that does anything other than draw the cyst closer to the surface and inflame it... helps if you want it to come to a head, but not to make it disapear
Ive heard Ice therapy can help but Ihave my doubts about that too...
gotta just cut the bastards out when u reasise that antibiotics dont do it.

thats in my experience
