Sick. Are you leaning to the left when you walk?

[ QUOTE ]
I've been there, it's no fun at all. Don't get it surgically removed or it will leave a scar. Take antibiotics. [/ QUOTE ] The way any decent doctor will remove them these days does not leave a noticeable scar...they remove it through a *tiny* hole in the skin (cut cyst, drain, pull sac through the hole). I had a fairly large one on the side of my face (about 70% of the size of the one in the OP's picture, maybe 2 inches higher next to my ear) removed, and there's no way you can tell it was ever there. Edit - I got mine removed by a skilled dermatologist...my roommate got one removed by a GP who left a scar...it's probably worth going to a specialist.

Re: Got a Sebaceous Cyst (pics of my ugly mug)
Make them excise it. I had one of these and it's come back every 6 months or so over the past 2 years. Antibiotics don't work as well as opening it up. Plus when you excise it you get to see that nasty [censored] shoot like 3 feet in the air.

Re: Got a Sebaceous Cyst (pics of my ugly mug)
Why the [censored] did you let that thing get so big before going to a doctor?
