Sebaceous Cysts: When a Painless Lump Forms Under the Skin •Sebaceous cysts are non-cancerous, slow-growing lumps that develop beneath the skin due to blockage of sebaceous (oil) glands or hair follicles. •They are commonly found on the face, neck, back, and scalp.• These cysts are usually filled with a soft, cheese-like material called keratin.•Symptoms include a round, smooth lump under the skin that is usually painless and movable. •In some cases, the cyst may become red, swollen, or tender if it gets infected.• A small opening or punctum may also be visible on the surface.•Although sebaceous cysts are generally harmless, they can increase in size or become uncomfortable over time. •Treatment includes observation if asymptomatic, or minor procedures to drain or remove the cyst completely.• Avoid squeezing or attempting to remove it at home, as this can lead to infection.•At Paavai Eye & Skin Care Hospital, Salem, we provide safe and effective management of sebaceous cysts with minimal discomfort. •Early evaluation helps prevent complications and ensures proper care.#SebaceousCyst #SkinCare #HealthySkin #Dermatology ✨
