A member asked:
How long does the sore last after a sebaceous cyst has been removed?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Time to Heal: If your cyst was completely removed, it would have been sutured and would heal in days. If your cyst was incised and drained, wound care would be required and it would be expected to heal in a few weeks.
