What is a Sebaceous Cyst?

A sebaceous cyst is a non-cancerous, closed sac beneath the skin filled with oily or cheesy material. It commonly appears on the face, neck, back, or scalp and is caused by blocked sebaceous glands or hair follicles.

While generally harmless, sebaceous cysts can become painful, infected, or unsightly, requiring medical attention.
