Re: Sebaceous Cyst on Neck
Okay, I have a couple of thoughts on this. A) Why does the doc make the incision so small? Just open the thing up and be done with it. ? B) Why record the process if your hands are blocking the view?! |

Re: Sebaceous Cyst on Neck
There's really no need to make a larger incision, since the contents of the cyst can usually be squeezed out through a small opening. I am surprised they don't just stick a large bore needle in there and suck the "stuff" out, but I suppose they have to be able to make sure all of the contents have been removed. I once had one of these on my back which was about the size of a quarter. It appeared seemingly overnight--at least, I didn't notice it until it reached that size and it stayed that size. Doc removed it without any problem. Four stitches if I remember right and a lot of pushing and squeezing. Until recently, I thought he had removed something solid. |
