Surgical removal....: An epithelial inclusion cyst will usually continue to enlarge because the epithelial cells that make up the cyst wall shed into the cyst. Only complete removal of the cyst and its walls will prevent recurrence.

Infected?: Abx will NOT cure a sebaceous cyst. They can help clear the infection and surrounding cellulitis that can occur when the cyst becomes infected. .... but not the cyst itself. The cyst needs to be removed if bothering you. If not bothering you can be safely watched.
