What are the causes of sebacous cyst on my upper thigh? then its replaced with hyperpigmentation
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Blocked follicle: A cyst forms when a hair follicle opening becomes blocked and sebum accumulates and forms a cyst. Often when they resolve they leave residual hyperpigmentation. This post inflammatory hyperpigmentation will resolve with time.
