How to treat a cyst
Distinguish between a sebaceous cyst and epidermoid cyst.
An epidermoid cyst is more common than a sebaceous cyst. Each will have slightly different symptoms and will be treated just a little differently.
Therefore, it is important that the cyst you have on your skin is diagnosed appropriately for effective treatment. Both types of cysts are flesh-colored or white-yellow and have a smooth surface.
