Hi I went to see a doctor and he said I had a sebaceous cyst in my back so he gave me antibiotics. After a month the cyst is gone, he says i should still have surgery remove it, but I dont feel it anymore or even see it at all. Should i have the surgery
Hellhole me explain about sebaceous cyst so that you will understand whether it require surgery or not. Sebaceous cyst follows obstruction to the mouth of a sebaceous duct. It can occur anywhere in body except PALM & SOLE (devoid of sebaceous cyst). If infection is there in the cyst it requires antibiotics. Treatment .1 Incision avulsion under local anesthesia .2 Dissection is necessary for the cysts which have been previously inflamed. In your case if your cyst were inflamed (when you took antibiotics) then you should get surgery. Hope this information will help you.
