"Epidermal inclusion cysts (Sebaceous Cysts) are the most common cutaneous cysts and can occur anywhere on the body. These cysts typically present as fluctuant nodules under the surface of the skin, often with visible central puncta. These cysts often become painful to the patient and may present as a fluctuant filled nodule below the patient's skin.
They often occur in areas where hair follicles have been inflamed and are usually common in conjunction with acne.
While they may occur anywhere on the body, they occur most frequently on the face, scalp, neck, and trunk.
They are more common in men than women, with a ratio of 2:1.
The definitive treatment is the complete surgical excision of the cyst with its walls intact; this will prevent reoccurrence."
For Skin that is Worth It, 22DC!
