Does sebaceous cyst removal hurt?

Minimal: With proper local anesthesia, all you should feel is the initial pinch of the numbing medicine.

Local Anesthesia: For patients undergoing sebeceous cyst removal we start with a local anesthetic cream, followed by a local anesthetic injection. This is very well tolerated. After surgery the majority of patients do not require any pain killers afterward, if they do tylenol (acetaminophen) is usually sufficient.

Gyn diagnosed a "sebaceous cyst" on my inner labia majora. She said it's something I have to live with and removal is not an option because removal could cause infection. Please tell me if this is correct. It's nearly impossible to get 2nd opinion?
