Sebaceous Cysts
Sebaceous Cysts treatment in Mangalore
Overview:
Sebaceous cysts are painless, small, non-cancerous, slow-growing lumps in the skin. They are mainly found on the neck, face or torso and contain liquid or semi-liquid materials. A simple surgical procedure is recommended for removing these cysts. The procedure generally takes around 10-15 minutes depending on the type and size of the cyst.
