What are ways to stop my sebaceous cysts from growing?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No sure fire cure: Some feel oral retinoids may help decrease this activity but they are not generally used for this purpose. Probably the same is true or even less likely for topical retinoids which ar unlikely to penetrate to the deep dermis where they occur.

A member asked:
Is it a sebacious cyst even if there was hair growing on it? The cyst grew on the scalp. My husband's doctor, a surgeon didn't X-ray or had biopsy it.
