Epidermal cysts that are useless to squeeze by hand

An epidermal cyst is a condition in which a sac-like lump forms under the skin. It resembles acne in appearance, but squeezing it releases a foul-smelling, cheese-like substance, and in severe cases, can cause pain and inflammation. It can occur anywhere on the body, not just the face, but primarily develops in areas with high sebum production, such as the neck, behind the ears, and underarms.

How are epidermal cysts treated?

While epidermal cysts sometimes disappear naturally, it is recommended to visit a hospital to have them removed if they continue to grow in size or pose a risk of bacterial infection. There are methods to drain the contents of the cyst and take antibiotics or extract the fluid with a syringe, and it can also be removed surgically.

Why do epidermal cysts occur?

Epidermal cysts occur when the sebaceous glands in the dermis become blocked. They are particularly prone to forming in frequently moving areas, such as the chin. They can also develop in wound sites following trauma, or form when waste products accumulate inside the body without being properly expelled. In other words, epidermal cysts develop when epithelial cells proliferate within the dermis during the wound healing process following trauma or burns. They can also occur secondarily due to other skin conditions, such as folliculitis or boils.

Is there a way to prevent epidermal cysts?

There is no specific way to prevent epidermal cysts. However, it is advisable to avoid excessive scrubbing with an exfoliating towel during bathing or scratching with unclean fingernails.
