Hello and welcome! In this video, I'm sharing my recent personal experience with a persistent and worrying lump that appeared on my back. After weeks of hoping it would disappear, I decided to stop guessing and seek professional medical advice.br br I visited my GP, Dr. Mae Tun, at Chevron Advanced Medical. The outcome, thankfully, was reassuring: the mystery lump was diagnosed as a Sebaceous Cyst (also known as an epidermal inclusion cyst). These are typically benign, slow-growing, non-cancerous sacs under the skin, usually filled with keratin.br br The Doctor's Crucial Advicebr Dr. Mae's directive for me was straightforward: No treatment necessary—just leave it alone! She explained that the recent inflammation was actually a positive sign that my body was actively working to resolve it naturally.br br While my case was simple, it's important to be aware of the standard treatments required if a cyst becomes painful, infected, or is a cosmetic concern:br br Steroid Injection: To reduce inflammation without infection.br br Surgical Excision: The most reliable treatment, as it removes the entire cyst sac to prevent recurrence.br br 🛑 WARNING: Do Not Self-Treat Cystsbr This is the most critical takeaway from my journey: Never attempt to squeeze, pop, or drain a sebaceous cyst yourself.br br High Infection Risk: You risk severe infection and potentially an abscess.br br Guaranteed Recurrence: Popping the contents leaves the sac wall behind, meaning the cyst is highly likely to return, often larger and more inflamed.br br My experience reinforced a key principle: While you can use AI tools to research symptoms, there is no substitute for the accurate diagnosis and professional guidance of a licensed healthcare provider.br br If you are concerned about any lump or change on your body, please make an appointment with a doctor immediately.
