A member asked:
Will these sebaceous cysts be fine if left to heal naturally?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Cysts: Sebaceous cyst will generally not heal naturally. They tend to go through cycles of inflammation and infection that may settle down by themselves or require drainage by a physician. I have seen some grow over time to size of golf balls. Best to have them removed by a reputable surgeon.
