A member asked:

Hi, i had a sebaceous cyst surgically removed 18 months ago. it left a red raised scar. it is now very painful, has the cyst come back? or is scar infected?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

All are possibile: Yes it could be a raised scar tissue ( keloid ) or some times they can recur , or infected fluid under the scar could be also strong possibility as it is 'now very painful' Best option see your doctor , if it is will drain it , possibly Rx antibiotics , then you will be fine .
