A member asked:

I have sabaceous cyst on my chest it's 1.5 inches above both breasts i'm a female 36 yrs what should i do ?

Depends: How do you know it is a sebaceous cyst? If it is a sebaceous cyst and it is not a bothering you cosmetically, you may leave it alone. If it enlarges, gets inflamed or develops a discharge, you should see your doctor.
