Question 2

Please don't try it: Even in our terribly dysfunctional health care system, you're inviting an infection and, even worse, a ruptured cyst which will give you a nasty, very-hard-to-treat foreign body reaction at the site that will be a nuisance for the rest of your life.

Question 3

i have 2 small bumps on the underside of my penis that i think are sebaceous cysts. what is the best type of practice to visit to have them removed?

Accepted Answer

Plastic surgeon or: Urologist would be my suggestion.

Question 4

how long for infected sebaceous cyst on penis to go away?

Accepted Answer

Sebaceous cyst: Infected cysts are best treated with drainage and good wound care (soap and h2o). Takes about 2 weeks to heal.  Would suggest aggressive scrubbing and, generally, keep it clean. In this case the treatment might be better than the disease. Hope it's just a cyst. ;).

Question 5

can you tell me how to get rid of (possible) sebaceous cyst's on my penis?

Accepted Answer

Leave them alone: Show them to your physician on your next routine visit. All men have sebaceous glands there; inclusion ("sebaceous") cysts are common enough. They are easy to remove surgically if they get big and are annoying. Do not try to do your own surgery here as if you rupture the capsule, it will be a mess and make cure much harder.

Question 6

my sebaceous cyst on underside of penis has a hole now(maybe it's popped) what to do now? it is like a hole and i can see red skin from that hole.

Accepted Answer

See your doctor: I would recommend getting in to see a doctor.  The cyst may be infected and could cause problems for you if you don't get it treated properly

Question 7

my sebaceous cyst on underside of penis popped and i can see a red hole dug 3mm deep. what to do? should i shave the pubic hair?

Accepted Answer

NO show to Doctor: You may need antibiotics , or even drainage of abscess ( if it forms ) to prevent spread of infection .

Question 8

i believe i may have sebaceous cysts. look like whitehead pimples, top of my penis shaft.popped one, white stuff came out. what can i apply to this?

Accepted Answer

Excision: If you do have sebaceous cyst(s), these need to be excised, i.e. removed surgically. Topical treatment will not remove those. Please consult your doctor for an evaluation.

Question 9

sebaceous cyst or syphilis? woke up with large closed lump on penis. it was painful to pop and blood came out. looks like a chancre after being popped

Accepted Answer

Abscess: Chancres don't pop and sebaceous cysts don't swell rapidly or hurt suddenly. Let's shower twice a day for a while and consider a god antibacterial soap. If this gets worse or starts to spread, get seen.

Question 10

small lump at base of penis shaft, only noticeable when erect. had for 7 years. told sebaceous cyst or varicocele. its right where my pinky is if i grip it. does cancer present like this?

Accepted Answer

Not cancer: Test ulnar cancer would have grown and you would be very sick by now. Have it rechecked. Most likely a cyst or blocker hair follicle.
