Sebaceuos cyst: Glands in the skin that keep skin lubricated produce an oily substance called sebum. Some people are predisposed to enlargement of the glands and formation of cysts that then get infected. See your doctor for treatment, as skin infections are often due to stapph bacteri, and now it is not uncommon to have a resistant staph call mrsa.
