And no, I'm not looped. a Hi Cara and Ann, I'll suggest the cabbage leaf compresses and the scrophularia formula to begin with and let you know how it goes. Thanks.

Guest guest Posted April 20, 2007 Report Share Posted April 20, 2007 How long have you had it? I had one but it only lasted for a few months and it started shrinking and went away. All I did was change my face wash and started different vitamins. I would say wait a while before having surgery, unless it is majorly bothersome.

Guest guest Posted April 20, 2007 Report Share Posted April 20, 2007 Viiginia - Try castor oil pollices (sp) , changed daily, to pull the cyst out. Castor oil has strong pulling power. Judy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 21, 2007 Report Share Posted April 21, 2007 I wonder if what I have on my lip would be called a sebaceous cyst. When I was about 20, I had a zit on the corner of my lip, and I tried to pop it. It wasn't ready, but I squeezed too hard, and I could hear it popping from the other side -- inside my lip. Ever since, I have had a variously-sized knot there. Tried to have it removed one time, but the damned dermatologist MISSED!! Talk about incompetence! He cut so far above the cyst that he couldn't get it out. Wanted me to come back so he could try again... It's been staying so large I can see it in pics now, so I guess I'll try again.

Guest guest Posted April 21, 2007 Report Share Posted April 21, 2007 Harmles....usually! I had one on my face at 16. Being a teenager I started picking at it. Needless to say, I'm in my 40's and STILL have a 1/4 inch deep scar on my face. If you have a sebacious cyst GO TO THE DOCTOR! If the sac breaks you can not only be seriously scarred, you can also get a mean case of blood poisoning. I generally don't like going to the doctor, and that's why I still have a nice scar on my cheek. Forget the poultices, and the home remedies. You need the sac removed and antibiotics to prevent infection of the wound.

Guest guest Posted April 22, 2007 Report Share Posted April 22, 2007 sebaceous cysts are a bit like a pimple gone bad. A sebaceous gland fills up with sebrum and waste, but instead of draining or being consumed by macrophages, the debris from this localized infection is walled off and removed from the body by a tough layer of dense connective tissue. There it generally stays until it is surgically removed or the body eventually gets around to reabsorbing it. Sebaceous cysts are small, usually painless bumps under the skin that may move slightly, depending on the mobility of the fascia. They are most common on the scalp, neck, or shoulders. Staphylococcus bacteria can sometimes attack sebaceous cysts, resulting in an acute infection. Sebaceous gland are oil glands. If you can, try to keep all your pores as clean and dry as possible. Another good cheap thing that alot of people use is organic apple cider vinegar in the glass jars. You can try with a cotton swab. Put cotton swab in the cider and allow it to soak in. Then tape it to the cyst with medical tape and leave on overnight. It works for warts, moles and pimples.

Guest guest Posted April 24, 2007 Report Share Posted April 24, 2007 Hi, If it is easy for you get homeopathic medicines, try using Berberis Aquifolium topically (MT) mother tincture or ointment, & same medicine in potency of 1X or 3X internally is of immense help. There won't be any scars even. MM ======================= goldencougarwolf wrote: > sebaceous cysts are a bit like a pimple gone bad.
