Sebaceous Cyst Questions

 
What is a sebaceous cyst?

A sebaceous cyst is a closed sac of cells occurring just under the skin creating bumps or lumps you can feel. They are usually slow-growing, painless, freely movable lumps beneath the skin. Occasionally, however, a cyst will become inflamed and tender. Infected sebaceous cysts are often red and tender and can have a discharge of a "pasty" or "cheesy" looking substance. A foul odor is also often present in the substance called keratin which fills sebaceous cysts, as it begins to degenerate or become infected. Keratin is a protein that creates the sac of cells called sebaceous cysts.

What causes sebaceous cysts?

Sebaceous cysts are often the result of swollen hair follicles, or skin trauma. There is some suggestion that sebaceous are also genetic since it is possible for several in a family to have sebaceous cysts.

What should I do if I think I have a sebaceous cyst?

Do not self-diagnose, see your Doctor. Sebaceous cysts are usually easily diagnosed by their appearance to the trained eye. In some cases, a biopsy may be necessary to rule out other conditions with a similar appearance. Once your Doctor has determined that you actually have a sebaceous cyst, you have the option as to what treatment you desire.

How can a product effect a sebaceous cyst deep below the top layers of the skin?

What we have to remember is that the skin absorbs. What we put on the skin can be measured in the blood stream within minutes, that includes lotions, shampoos, medicines etc. That is how smoker patches, sea-sick patches and hormone patches work. In my case, I use only botanicals, both western and ayurvedic noted for their profound effect on acne which is much like sebaceous cysts. I have blended these botanicals in a base of oils that are noted to be superior in their trans-dermal ability to carry with it botanicals into the sub-layers of skin. These localized botanicals effect the sebum by killing the bacteria that is generated within the contained gland. The botanicals that I have incorporated are scientifically proven to have potent anti-bacterial, anti-microbial and anti-oxidant effects. This gives the skin the optimum ability to fight the eruption. Some are shrank within the skin as the body assimilates it, others raise to the surface like a pimple, drain and heal, and there is always the possibility that it won't have an effect. Like any natural product, the effectiveness is up to your body chemistry as it reacts to the beneficial properties of the product. I have had only great reports from people who have used the Key Relief Skin Repair and the Key Relief S-C Formula.
