Get it removed: There is no medical treatment for sebaceous cyst. Get it removed. It is likely to be less painful than leaving it there. Have a healthy diet, exercise 30 minutes/day, drink plenty of water, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. For nutrition: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/. Get HPV vaccine. Wish you good health!
