How can sebaceous cyst be eliminated by itself?

sebaceous cyst can't be eliminated by itself.

Sebaceous gland cyst, also known as powder tumor or acne, is formed because sebaceous gland excretory duct is blocked and sebaceous gland cystic epithelium is expanded by increasing contents. Sebaceous cysts generally have no possibility of self-healing. Although sebaceous cysts may exist for many years without conscious symptoms, infection, ulceration and recurrence may also occur. The cyst wall has secretory function and can produce contents. If the cyst wall cannot be completely removed, the cyst will easily recur. When the cyst wall ruptures and the contents extravasate, infection is easy to occur. Sebaceous gland cyst can only be eliminated by certain treatment methods, and the cyst wall can be completely removed or destroyed by commonly used surgical methods at present. In addition, some non-surgical methods, such as laser, hormone blocking, injection hardening and fire needle, can also be used for treatment. Doctors can choose corresponding treatment methods according to the location and quantity of skin lesions, the demand for beauty, the size of skin lesions and whether they are infected or not.
