A cyst arising in an oil-secreting (sebaceous) gland of the skin. It may grow to a considerable size and be filled with yellowish cheesy sebum, which sometimes becomes infected. Sebaceous cysts are found most commonly on the scalp, scrotum, and vulva and rarely occur before puberty. Treatment is by surgical excision.<\/p>\n
