sebaceous cysts on scrotum.
I am 21 and for 3 years or more now i have had sebaceous cysts covering my scrotum. some are larger then others. some i can pop and a white cheese like substance comes out, and other i cant pop, they seem to have no head. i know these are sebaceous cysts due to my doctor telling me so, but that is all he pretty much told me. no treatment tips nothing. i have heard about a hot cloth, but that did not work for me. i have also tried cleaning the area with anti-bacterial soap and nothing has changed. i am wondering if there is anything i can do to get rid of these things? any sort of herbal remedy or diet change i can make to help make them go away? any help would be greatly appreciated.
thank you.
thank you.
dude, there is no other solution... If there was, your doctor would have recommended one.
found info on the net for you, seems like you need to get it surgically removed (only solution)
They are more common in hairier areas, where in cases of long duration they could result in hair loss on the skin surface immediately above the cyst. The main symptom is usually a small, non-painful lump beneath the skin. Small lumps or bumps that occur just under the skin of the genitalia, breast, abdomen, face, neck, or elsewhere on the body are the most common symptom of sebaceous cysts. Sebaceous cysts may occasionally become infected and form into painful abscesses. It is important when sebaceous cysts are surgically removed that the entire sac is excised to help prevent a recurrence. large cysts may reappear and may have to be surgically removed. If a cyst becomes infected, treatment may include administering antibiotics and then surgically removing the cyst.
Surgical excision of a sebaceous cyst is a simple procedure to completely remove the sac and its contents. Total excision surgical technique removes the entire cyst and so prevents recurrence. Home treatment of sebaceous (epidermal) cyst, may relieve symptoms but may not make the cyst go away. Apply warm, wet washcloths to the lump for 20 to 30 minutes, 3 to 4 times a day. Inject an inflamed but uninfected epidermoid cyst with a corticosteroid to help reduce the inflammation. To minimize scarring use a carbon dioxide laser to vaporize an epidermoid cyst on your face or other sensitive area. Avoiding excessive sun exposure and using oil-free skin care products can help prevent milia. To prevent scarring and infection, don't try to squeeze cysts yourself.
Sebaceous Cysts Treatmen and Prevention Tips
1. Do not squeeze, scratch, drain, open (lance), or puncture the lump.
2. Keep the area clean by washing the lump and surrounding skin well with an antibacterial soap.
3. Apply warm, wet washcloths to the lump for 20 to 30 minutes, 3 to 4 times a day.
4. Avoiding excessive sun exposure and using oil-free skin care products can help prevent milia.
5. Prophylactic tetracycline or erythromycin ointment is applied once, 1 hour after delivery.
