Can you get a sebaceous cysts exactly where you had one years ago?

ifnottotally remove: yes if not adequately removed. Sometimes these cysts have small buds coming off the original cyst. If not totally removed, these buds can develop in to another cyst.

I have around 5 sebaceous cysts in the groin area. I have had them for around 12 years and they are very painful when inflamed. Should I see a dermatologist or gynaecologist? I am very embarrassed either way.

I had a sebaceous cysts years ago. It was removed surgically in a hospital. It was in my belly button. The surgent said he got it all, even the sack it came in. Now I think I have another sebaceous cysts in the same spot. But how's this possible?
