A member asked:
I was given a shot of cortisone in a sebaceous cyst on my face and it seemed to go away but now it's coming back is there anything i can do?

Surgical excision: The cortisone will only reduce inflammation if it is a real sebaceous cyst it has to be removed and well as its capsule. All other methods will allow it to come back
