Hello,
Welcome to HCM,

Sebaceous cysts are the cysts which originate from sebaceous glands and which contain sebum.

Sebaceous cysts generally do not require medical treatment. However, if they continue to grow, they may become unsightly, painful and infected. The medicines and cream will helps to control the symptoms like pain and infection but it will not cure it completely.

Surgical excision of a sebaceous cyst is a treatment of choice which is a simple procedure to completely remove the sac and its contents. Recurrence are very rare following surgical excision.
Thank you.
