Suggest Treatment For Sebaceous Cyst In Kid
My son,5 years old, had a sebaceous cyst removed from his face (near his ear) at the end of May. It is now back! The dr did say during the original surgery that the cyst was ruptured and they irrigated the area repeatedly but it could come back. So, I m assuming he s probably going to have to have surgery yet again? We just discovered this and will be calling the dr on Monday. I just want to ensure that we are not going to be doing surgery every 3 months. Is there a remedy?

Hi,
In sebaceous cyst surgery complete sac is to be removes, otherwise there is recurrence.
In his case it seems that due to rupture of sac complete removal of saci was not possible.
So now they will try to remove sac for permanent cure.
Ok and take care.
