I have a sebaceous cyst on my neck. My gp referred me to a consultant at the hospital who said it could be removed but due to the current  climate i would have to pay privately. Although I am not too worried about the cyst itself  ie dont think it could become malignant, it has now become very foul smelling. I am very aware of this and as I can smell it myself  would imagine other people can too. Is this not a good enough reason to have it removed on the nhs? I am a52 year old woman.
Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You have sebaceous cyst.  It is benign and generally not converted in to malignancy.  So nothing to worry about that. Treatment is surgical excision.  Indication for surgery are pain, foul smell discharge or cosmetic.  If you want to go for surgery then there is no harm in that.  Consult your doctor and go for excision. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Wish you a very good health.
