Hi, I am a 21 year old female and I have two small skin coloured lumps under my skin. I have one on my chin and one on my forehead, they developed after I had a recurring spot in those regions. My doctor said he thinks these are sebacous cysts. These cysts have not become inflamed and are not causing me any physical discomfort, however, the are unsightly and i have become self conscious and depressed as a result of them. My doctor said that i could have a sebaceous cyst removed but that the scar would be quite large. Is there anything else at all I can do because these are really damaging my confidence. My sister said she had something similar and she was given a solution to apply and till the lumps became hard and then she had to file them down. Thank you for your time.

Hi there, i'm a 36 year old male who had one of these cysts removed in 2005. I had a facial sebaceous cyst develop on my right cheek and i went to my doctor to have it assessed. It was quite unsightly as it got big and i was pretty worried about it. He told me that it would have to be removed and assured me that the surgical procedure was nothing to worry about. I had to go into hospital to get the procedure done, it took about 10-15 minutes or so, and i didn't feel a thing..nothing! They numb the area with a local jab(you don't even feel that because they numb the area with a topical gel first!) I was given 5 stitches and i can assure you that your scar will fade considerably over the next few months. I feel that you will probably have to have these cysts removed, but i can completely assure you that the procedure is minor, i wouldn't worry in the slightest.

I just decided that I should get it removed and went to another Doctor who told me that it is a small cancer, it actually looks like a carcenoma at the moment but I think that is from picking at it. I have had it for 6- 12mths and it deffinately didn't look like one in the beginning, I have had two carcenomas removed from my left arm, they came up in about 1 week. I don't really want a scar on my cheek.
Is there any other way and what is it??? :?
