Sebaceous Cyst
Sebaceous cyst self-healing methods
Sebaceous cysts are a type of benign hyperplasia; they cannot heal on their own without treatment. Commonly used oral or topical anti-inflammatory drugs are unable to fully cure them. The most standard treatment is to visit a dermatologist at a reputable hospital for a minor surgery to clean out the contents and the sac of the cyst. They also have a tendency to recur. It is essential to pay attention to diet and lifestyle habits regularly; avoid spicy and stimulating foods, do not stay up late, avoid anxiety and stress, try not to bathe or swim in public baths, do not keep small animals at home, expose clothes, sheets, and duvet covers to sunlight for disinfection, and regularly exercise and bathe.
How to treat sebaceous cysts?
Sebaceous cysts are benign proliferations that form under the skin in areas where the sebaceous glands are particularly active. They contain a sac filled with a substance that resembles tofu dregs. The most common treatment is a minor surgery to completely remove the contents of the cyst. After recovery, it is important to maintain a proper diet and lifestyle, avoid spicy and irritating foods, refrain from drinking alcohol and eating hot peppers, try not to stay up late, and avoid soaking in public baths or swimming pools. This condition has a tendency to recur, but forming good life habits after recovery can greatly reduce the recurrence rate. Additionally, oral medications that reduce sebum secretion may be taken, and frequent bathing with sulfur soap can help reduce bacterial infections on the skin surface. (Specific medications should be taken under the guidance of a physician.)
