Sebaceous Cyst treatment in Magdalena Contreras

A sebaceous cyst is a closed sac beneath the skin that contains fatty material, generally slow-growing and painless. It usually appears on the scalp, the face, the neck, or the trunk.

Common features: a rounded, mobile bump beneath the skin, which may have a small central opening.

When to see a doctor? A review is advisable if the cyst grows, becomes red, hurts, or has drainage, which may indicate irritation or infection.

Which specialist treats it? The dermatologist evaluates this type of skin lesion and, in some cases, the general or plastic surgeon is involved. If you are concerned about a bump on the skin, it is best to have a professional examine it and clear up your doubts.
