Can A Sebaceous Cyst Drain On Its Own After 10 Years ?

Posted on Wed, 13 Nov 2024

Question: Can a sebaceous cyst drain on its own after 10 years ? I never really tried epsom salt and sitz baths. Is possible this could still work? I included a picture. Also, if go to an Obgyn can she drain this in the office ?

In my opinion you can try Epsom salt and sitz bath to relieve pain because of cyst.
It will not drain automatically after 10years.
You can go to a gynecologist she will drain it.
