Skin cyst (sebaceous cyst) dermatology surgery review

Has everyone heard of skin cysts?

A skin cyst occurs when the pore through which sebum is discharged becomes blocked, leading to inflammation in the hair follicle.

At the opening of the hair follicle, that is, the passage, it becomes blocked, causing dead cells and oily secretions to accumulate inside the sebum shell.

It is said to appear in a soft or nodular form.

This time, while receiving dermatology treatment, I learned about a skin cyst for the first time.

A small flat wart has appeared on my face.

A few months ago, I started feeling a lump under my chin when I touched the neck area.

It wasn't big, but I just thought it was a flat wart.

I didn't realize it was a skin cyst until now.

After a few months, the wart on my face had grown large enough to be noticeable.

So, I visited a nearby dermatology clinic to have it removed and received treatment.

He showed some areas and said he wanted to go and have the warts removed.

I also received treatment for my neck area, and the doctor said that this is not a wart but a skin cyst.

Although it was about 3mm in size, this skin cyst, if left untreated and squeezed repeatedly,

I heard it can grow infinitely.

So, I decided to undergo the removal procedure.

Fortunately, I am very small, so I don't need surgery, and they said it can be removed with laser treatment.

People who neglect it and it worsens undergo skin incision, removal, and then stitching surgery.

Since the skin is incised, scars may form.

It is common for epidermoid cysts to frequently develop behind the ear.

Now that I think about it, whenever I was tired or not feeling well, a pimple-like bump would often appear behind my earlobe.

It was about 1 cm in size.

It turned out to be a skin cyst.

If left untreated or ignored, it can lead to ongoing recurrence due to pain and inflammation.

In that case, an incision surgery might be necessary, which could leave a scar, so I think you should seek medical treatment in advance.

In that case, I recommend going to a dermatologist or a general plastic surgery clinic to undergo removal procedures or surgery!
