Usually excision: Although heating pads ANS antibiotics may calm them down the only definitive care is cutting out the cyst.

Excision: Excision is best. The cyst can continue to grow or may become infected otherwise.

Take it out.: Cebaceous cycts are benign conditions that rarely go away by themselves. They usually get biggar and occasionally they get infected. I think the best treatment is to remove them surgically.

Excison: Sebaceous cysts usually require excision to remove and decrease the chance of recurrence as the wall of the cyst must be removed in addition to the contents.

Excise it: A sebaceous cyst is an oil gland in the skin which is obstructed and over time the lining of the gland shed and accumulate to form a sack like collection containing white paste like material. Because it is connected to the skin, a small ellipse of skin must be removed to decrease chance of recurrence, untreated cysts can become infected and cause significant scarring.
