Question 1

how can i get rid of sebaceous cysts?

Accepted Answer

Let me try: Painless epidermal cysts are normally harmless and need no treatment. These appear and normally go away after a few days. But if the cysts get infected they may swell to be large enough or drain from time to time. The bumps may become a cause for embarrassment in such cases and require medical attention. You should ideally visit a dermatologist, a doctor who specializes in treating skin problems.

U don't want 2: This is normal skin and anatomy.  Leave it alone.  Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.  Why would you want to?   You will injury yourself if you do this or persist in attempting to do this.  Talk with your pcp or with a urologist or dermatologist and see if there is something going on elsewise.  Man, enjoy what you have for the reason you have it and leave the rest alone.  It is what it is!

Question 9

is sebaceous gland dangerous for men?  is it contagious ? & how can you get rid of it?

Accepted Answer

No, no, can't: Sebaceous glands aren't dangerous for either men or women (yes, you have them, too). They definitely aren't contagious. Everyone has these oil glands everywhere. Therefore you can't get rid of them. Sometimes they'll plug up & enlarge, even get infected. In that case, your doc can lance them to allow stuff (pus) to drain out. Warm compresses sometimes are enough to cause 'em to open & drain on own.
