Scrotal sebaceous cyst pictures

Sebaceous cysts of the scrotum are common in young people. They are manifested as spot-like swellings on the scrotum. When squeezed hard, sebaceous glands can be discharged. Generally, there are no obvious symptoms and no obvious pain. Sebaceous cysts are caused by the accumulation of sebaceous glands due to the blockage of the sebaceous gland opening. Infection, local uncleanliness and frequent scratching can all cause sebaceous gland blockage. Small sebaceous cysts generally do not require specific treatment. You should pay attention to hygiene and do not scratch them. If the sebaceous cyst is large, it is easy to cause secondary infection and needs surgical treatment and removal.

Scrotal sebaceous cysts are common benign skin tumors that have no impact on health. Skin damage lasts for a few hours and generally does not require treatment. If it expands in a short period of time and is accompanied by local pain, inflammation, cyst wall rupture, and redness of the surface, you can first apply or take anti-inflammatory drugs orally and then undergo surgery to remove it. The surgical treatment of sebaceous cysts belongs to the outpatient minimally invasive surgery in the hospital. The surgery is performed under local anesthesia for about a week and the stitches are removed. Pay attention to the medical care of the wound after the surgery. Especially the scrotal area is always wet and sweaty, so keep it dry and wear loose jeans to prevent secondary infection.

First of all, sebaceous cysts are generally called cysts in clinical medicine. They occur because the sebaceous glands cannot metabolize sebaceous glands smoothly, so they accumulate and form cysts. If sebaceous cysts occur in the scrotum, if they are not very serious, the patient does not need to treat them, but only needs to continue to observe.

If the patient is very afraid and is worried that repeated squeezing may cause infection, surgery can be used to remove it immediately. If the patient has accidentally caused a secondary infection of the sebaceous cyst, it is best to use topical antibiotics and oral antibiotics to reduce inflammation, and then perform surgical treatment after the inflammation is eliminated. In short, this type of disease is not very serious and there is no need to be afraid.
