Do sebaceous cysts leave scars after removal?

There is a possibility of scarring after sebaceous cyst removal, which is less noticeable if the incision is small. If the scarring is noticeable it is recommended that the appearance be improved by medication, laser, or surgical treatment. Due to obstruction of the excretory ducts of the sebaceous glands, the sebaceous cystic epithelium can be swollen by the gradually increasing contents, resulting in the formation of a retention cyst. This condition occurs on the face, back, etc. If the cysts are small, no special treatment is necessary. If the cyst is large, it may affect the aesthetics or symptoms such as pain, it is recommended to go to a regular hospital in time, under the guidance of a specialist for surgical treatment. However, note that if the removal of the cyst wall is incomplete, recurrence may still occur. If the incision is large or there is infection during the healing process, it may lead to obvious scarring of the incision in the surgical area, which can be inhibited by topical application of Mucopolysaccharides Polysulfonate Cream and Cumexin Cream Ointment under the guidance of specialists. It can also be combined with laser treatment to lighten the scar. Sebaceous gland removal and postoperative scar treatment are recommended to be carried out in regular medical institutions.
