A member asked:
I have 2 sebaceous cysts on my neck they come and go, dr said it's not a problem a third one just popped on my ear lobe. is it my immunity or genes ?

Neither: Your immunity is fine and sebaceous cysts aren't a hereditary disorder, many people get them, ask your doctor about surgical removal and possibly tissue pathology examination, if your doctor thinks it's important, otherwise don't worry
