Patient's question:
Before her period, she kept saying her blood sugar was high. She said her fasting blood sugar had reached 9.3, and she might already have diabetes. In the past two days, she said a large lump had grown on her back. When she went to the hospital, it was diagnosed as a sebaceous cyst. Should a sebaceous cyst be surgically removed?Doctor's answer:
In the case of your aunt, the treatment for a sebaceous cyst depends on its specific symptoms and condition. If the sebaceous cyst is not too large and does not significantly affect her, it may not need to be treated, but avoid excessive friction that could lead to inflammation. If the sebaceous cyst has already become infected and shows signs of redness, swelling, and pain, it is recommended to have surgery.
