A member asked:
I have a small cyst under my arm, after a ultrasound the dr said it was as calcified sebaceous cyst and that i shouldn't worry. what does this mean?

Sebaceous cyst: arises from a clogged sebaceous gland(secretes an oily material that lubricates hair and skin). Epidermoid inclusion cysts are more common and may look similar. Both types of cysts are benign but can be removed if they are bothersome or inflamed.
