    Why Consider Sebaceous Cyst Excision

    Although sebaceous cysts are benign, they can still affect your comfort and confidence: 

    • Pain or tenderness, especially if inflamed 
    • Recurrent infections or leakage

    Removing a cyst helps prevent future issues and provides long-term reassurance.

    Usually 20–30 minutes depending on the size and location.
    A small scar is expected, but it typically fades well over time.
