Different ethnicity have different chances of scarring. People with very light skin tones have the smallest chance of scarring and forming keloids. People with naturaly darker pigmented skin tones such as asians and africans have a much higher chance. I wonder why? Guess you are one of the lucky ones. I for one, do scar.

Wow, 10 dollars to have 50 of them removed? That is way cheap. How did you get such a deal?

The dermatologist is a friend of my mother.

And I am Asian. Scarring on those pricked are rare. Just for the ones that were really deep I suppose.

You could try asking how much pricking a couple would cost you. Just make sure that it's the superficial ones in unexposed areas to test how well it works for you.

Having the ones on my neck removed really lifted my mood. And I didn't know it affected me that much. I guess it was a subconscious thing.

But anyway, good luck to you fellows.

I had this diagnosed as a teenager. I do not have a severe case, and was able to have most of them excised without noticable scarring by a dermatologist, and was able to drain several on my own using a sharp pointed X-acto knife. With one exception, they did not recur. They first appeared on the mid torso, and after I took care of those I went several years without much incident. In recent months I've developed a couple on my neck around my jawline which are more difficult to deal with as I'm not eager to do any self-surgery on my face.

I have had these since atleast pubery (I am 28 now). I am female and have them on the chest, so atleast I'm able to keep them covered up (although I can't wear cute 2 piece suits, etc.). I went to a highly recommended dermatologist about 5 years ago and, basically, she told me what it was and that I would just have to live with it for the rest of my life. Gee, thanks. Well, I feel bad for anyone who has them in a more prominent area. Hang in there! It was comforting to realize that I'm not the only one...thanks for all the advice. Oh, and I see that someone said that it is good if you lose weight. Well, I'm not overweight and never have been, and I still have about a hundred on my chest. Being tan does seem to help mask them, though, for me.

I have had sm all my life. It did get worse after pubery and now that Iam in my late 30's it is quite severe.I have many on my chest and on my face. Kind of hard on the self esteem sometimes... I think we should form a support group for all us cyst suffers.I suppose there are worse things in the world to have but usually there is some form of treatment or help.

I also suffer with SM ..dx since I was a teenager. I'm now 41 and have not been able to concieve. Has anyone heard of this effecting fertility? I have cyst on face,kneck,underarms,stomach,groin,earlobes,upper arms,and chest. In winter some on face looks kinda greenish. I've had some extracted on forehead when enlarged due to infection, and some for testing. By now I've gotten pretty use to them, but sometime when one gets enlarged, it can be embarasing. I then use a surgical needle and drain it. It will take some months before filling up again.
The best to you all!

This is in response to the successful removal of the SM bumps on the neck of the person in the chat room. Congradulations! Is there anyway to get the info on the dermatologist that helped you? I know it's a friend of your mom's and do not expect any favors, I just need an experinced healer that I can trust. Please! I've had SM on my chest ara for about 10 years and I'm 27, they're spreading and I'm ready to make a move to stop them!

thanks

Yes, I read about the vein hook article as well, and the apparent success it has had on the 5 patients. I am wondering if this procedure is available in North America?

Also, for the person who had 50 removed for $10, where was this, and how was it done?

They were just pricked actually. Some scarring happens, but it's rare.

This method however is only good for the ones that aren't too deep in.

Just find a surgical pin, prick the cyst with an upward motion, and use this thing made of metal with a circle on the end (don't know its name) and push.

I could probably do it myself too.

Hello guys, my first lesions appeared at about the age of 12 on my scrotum, 7 years ago now, and for some reason, they group together and I have tried to prick them but I'm justtoo scared because of the location they are at. Does anybody have any suggestions as to how I can remove the ones on my scrotum (thas where all of them are) on my own in a painless way? I cant afford to get surgery and all I have attempted so far is removing them with a safety pin and all that comes out of the cysts is a yellow liquid and nothing more. Is there any way for me to remove the solid parts of the cysts on my own? Will it work with a small knife or what should I use? I'm just completely scared because every time I try to take them out, they bleed and that worries me further. I need help ......Please Sad

I hate this "disease" or whateer it is. I just found out what it wa yesterday and it is said to be an extremely rare disease.

PLEASE HELP ME
