What is a Sebaceous Cyst?
A sebaceous cyst is a non-cancerous lump that forms beneath the skin. It's usually filled with a substance called sebum, which is produced by the sebaceous glands. These cysts are often harmless but can cause discomfort or concern due to their appearance.
Causes of Sebaceous Cysts:
Clogged Sebaceous Glands: The most common cause is the blockage of the sebaceous glands or ducts. This blockage prevents sebum from being expelled through the skin and leads to the formation of a cyst.
Hormonal Changes: Hormonal fluctuations, such as those occurring during puberty or pregnancy, can increase the risk of cyst formation.
Genetic Factors: Some individuals may be predisposed to developing sebaceous cysts due to their genetic makeup.
Skin Trauma: Physical damage or repeated irritation of the skin can lead to the development of cysts.
Acne: Chronic acne can sometimes result in the formation of sebaceous cysts, particularly if the acne leads to the obstruction of hair follicles.
Symptoms:
A small, painless lump beneath the skin
A visible, slow-growing bump
Occasionally, the cyst may become red, swollen, or tender if it becomes infected.
