A member asked:
I am getting recurrent sebaceous cysts on my arms and underarms. what could be causing it?

There is: no accepted answer to your problem. Many dermatologists feel that deep cleaning (with mild abrasion) to the areas can "prevent" the "plugging" of the sweat glands with skin debris thus avoiding CYST formation! Just a thought! Hope it helps! Dr Z
