What is the treatment for sebaceous cyst in the head?
Patient: I have had a sebaceous cyst on my head for quite some time.  It has gotten bigger this past year, and about a week ago started leaking when I am always at it.  The fluid is clear with traces of very little blood,and the cyst area is sore...is this normal? Doctor: Hi,Good Evening.Thanks for the query to HCM.I studied it in depth and I understood your health concerns.-Treatment-for  Sebaceous Cyst of the head-1- In my opinion -the clear fluid appears to be due to the cellulitic fluid due to the handling of it by you and hence little of fluid -indicating that the infection is not advanced and could be controlled with proper treatment with ER Surgeon.2-As rightly said by you the cyst is not painful and red ,but is sore due to excessive handling by you with less of fluid discharge.3-So I would advise you to Consult a Surgeon and  who would treat it accordingly as told above and with proper antibiotics and anti-inflammatory and proper drainage by surgical means.4-Dont get scared and uneasy,but be cautious and act fast.Hope this would help you a lot to relieve you.Wish you fast recovery-and healthy life.Wellcome to HCM with more queries till you are satisfied.Have a Good Day...!!Dr.SAVASKAR M.N.M.S.GENL-CVTS,Super specialist and Senior Consultant-and Expert in Non-Curable-Disease therapy for Cancer,Asthma,etc,Rejuvenation therapy and Tissue failure -reversal therapies.
