Treatment and prevention of penile sebaceous cysts

Sebaceous cysts are also commonly known as cysts. They usually appear on the skin or subcutaneous tissue of the head, trunk, and genitals. Other parts of the body are fine, but if they appear on the penis, it will affect a man's normal life. So, what are the treatments for penile sebaceous cysts?

1. Surgical resection

Once diagnosed, the cyst should be completely removed by surgery. Surgery is the only treatment for sebaceous cysts. During surgery, a fusiform skin incision can be made along the skin lines in the skin connected to the cyst, especially when the catheter opening is seen, and the cyst can be removed together with the cyst. Special care should be taken during separation, as the cyst wall is very thin and should be removed as completely as possible. If the cyst wall is left behind, it is prone to recurrence. If there are inflammatory symptoms such as redness, swelling, heat and pain before surgery, the inflammation should be controlled first, and then surgery should be arranged.

2. Concurrent infection

Oral antibiotics (such as enhanced sulfamethoxazole tablets, medroxyprogesterone, etc.) and hot compresses should be used for anti-inflammatory treatment, and surgical excision should be performed after the inflammation subsides. Large scars can be treated with cosmetic surgery.

Prevention

To prevent the occurrence of sebaceous cysts, you should pay attention to the following aspects:

1. Keep facial skin clean to keep sebaceous glands open and facilitate secretion discharge.

2. When the facial skin is itchy, do not scratch it arbitrarily to avoid causing facial skin infection, damaging the sebaceous gland opening, causing sebaceous gland secretion retention, and promoting the formation of sebaceous cysts.

3. Do not squeeze facial skin rashes, etc.
