A member asked:

I had a (what i think is)sebaceous cyst pop under my skin on my forehead. the fluid is still moving down my forehead under the skin. ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Wens: When sebaceous cysts drain, they drain externally and extrude a cheesy material. I feel that you should have your physician examine this lesion for both diagnosis and treatment.
