Hi. Are you sure they are sebaceous cysts and not acne eruptions which have become infected? I suggest you see a Dermatologist and you would require some antibiotic tablets or capsules for a week to ten days as they sound like infected and should not be removed during active infection. If the Dermatologist says its Sebaceous cyst then you will require removal. For least scarring you can see a Plastic Surgeon. If he says it is acne then the treatment is different, and he would guide you accordingly and surgery can be avoided. Do let us know if we can help you with any other queries. Take care, Chat Doctor.
