Pus filled sebaceous cyst

I have a few sebaceous cysts and one of which is producing pus. The others were supposed to go according to GP but are still present at the same size. Is this a sign of something more malicious going on

  • Hello and thanks for posting,

    Skin problems such as infected skin gland (sebaceous) cysts are very common in the younger general population, and are not a sign of cancer.

    Use any medications such as gels creams and/or antibiotics prescribed by your GP. Wear cotton loose clothing, and try to use PH Balanced antibacterial products.

    There is information here about skin cysts,

    I hope that this helps,

    Best wishes,
