Sebaceous cyst - before surgery

This started life as a pea size lump under my skin. and remained unchanged for over 2 years. A couple of weeks ago it started to grow and in the 4 days I had to wait before seeing my GP it had over trebled on size.

Sebaceous cyst - after surgery

The cyst and core were removed in hospital by a surgeon under general anesthetic. Unfortunately they wouldn't allow my boyfriend in to film the procedure :( The hole was then packed and dressed as opposed to be stitched, so that it can heal from the inside out and prevent further infection or occurrence. The packing and dressing needs to be changed daily by a nurse as due to it's positioning, I am unable to do it myself. This was taken the day after the surgery was performed when the nurse first changed my dressings. I'm told that it will take around 3-4 weeks to heal and that the hole will close and I will be left with a small scar. Guess my days as a back model are over! LOL

Its 2.5cm long, 7mm wide and 7mm deep. As far as I know, no you can't see my spine!

Sebaceous cyst - isn't she lovely

My skin isn't really this wrinkled or loose! It's just where the bandages have been stuck on and then removed! After the initial shock of seeing the hole, I decided to have some fun!

10 years ago | Likes 122 Dislikes 1

When its on the back like that it is much more likely to 'pop' open so its almost not worth it, especially that large a hole.

10 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

If you sew it up, it does the same thing all over again.

10 years ago | Likes 6 Dislikes 0

I've had this happen twice - first time packed and healed, 2nd time sewed and crazy infection happened. Idiot doctor wouldn't listen to me.

10 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

nahhh the only part that actually has any broken skin is that little bit around the lip of it. Its basically an enlarged pore so the whole >

10 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

inside is just regular skin

10 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Depending on the type of cyst of course. I get lymphatic ones deep under my skin and I have to wait like a chump for them the do their thing

10 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

It's basically a horribly enlarged pore so sewing it up would probably be a fairly bad idea.

10 years ago | Likes 14 Dislikes 0

But don't you lose skin in the surgical process?

10 years ago | Likes 5 Dislikes 0

A cyst is encapsulated matter, so they need it to heal inside out. If you seal it up, you're just creating a new pocket.

10 years ago | Likes 6 Dislikes 0

You'll grow new skin, just like on a cut or scrape. Some large abscesses or huge cysts need drains places in them temporarily too.

10 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

Unfortunately not! :( It has to heal from the inside out so I just have to have it packed and dressed daily for the next 3-4 weeks.

I'm guessing it was done with you awake? Any anaesthesia? I bet the feeling of relief from having it removed was bliss.

I had a pildonial cyst in Jan, my roommate had to pack it for me. I don't know your beliefs but depending on what meds they give u, weed 1/

Daamn. If you smoke, do it. It was by far better than anything i took. My roomate/savior wouldn't pack it w/out weed after figuring that out
