A member asked:
I have a sebaceous cyst on my waistline. its not infected but how would i be able to get rid of it? my doctor recommended squeezing. not good i think.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Temporary: Squeezing the sebaceous cyst will empty the sac temporally . In time the sac will refill. The real treatment is surgical excision of the sebum and its sac
