What are the dangers of scalp cysts?

Scalp cysts are generally caused by increased sebaceous gland secretion due to endocrine instability, leading to blockage of hair follicles. Generally, you can apply ointment first and then apply hot compress. If the scalp cyst is not properly cared for, a lump will appear. If the cyst does not affect the appearance, the scalp cyst does not need to be treated. If you feel that the scalp cyst affects your appearance, you can treat it through surgical removal to improve the symptoms.

Sebaceous cyst is a troublesome skin disease. Skin gland cysts are also called cysts. Skin gland cysts are caused by a certain obstruction in the excretion ducts of the sebaceous glands of the skin, which then causes the sebaceous glands of the skin to be filled with some substances, forming some small or large granular objects that protrude on the surface of the skin. Sebaceous cysts mainly occur in the skin or subcutaneous tissue of the head, trunk, or genitals.

If sebaceous cysts are not treated promptly, one of the serious consequences is that they may become cancerous. If cancer occurs, the consequences are imaginable, and the harm to the body is unpredictable, so it is necessary to detect and treat it early.

Sebaceous cysts are often easily overlooked. Many people will simply think that it is just a small piece of flesh, no big deal. In fact, we must change this view and never ignore the small lumps of flesh growing on our body, as these small lumps of flesh may cause great harm. Currently, the main and only way to treat sebaceous cysts is surgical excision. Therefore, once the diagnosis is confirmed, surgical treatment should be performed immediately. If there is inflammation, you must first take some anti-inflammatory measures and then perform surgery. Do not delay.

Currently, the success rate of surgery for treating sebaceous cysts is relatively high, and the chance of cure is also relatively large, so patients with sebaceous cysts do not need to worry too much, as long as they receive timely and proper treatment.
