An epidermoid cyst<\/strong> (also misnamed sebaceous cyst) is a benign<\/strong> cyst<\/strong> that originates in the skin. They are usually produced by the obstruction of the duct of a sebaceous gland associated with a hair follicle. <\/p>\n

They are usually rounded, firm, asymptomatic, slow-growing lesions, located mainly on the trunk, neck, face, scrotum or behind the ears. Occasionally they may exude macerated keratin, with a very characteristic rancid odor, through a pore. <\/span><\/p>\n

They are prone to infection and may form painful abscesses that require urgent surgical drainage. For this reason, their removal is recommended when they acquire a significant size. <\/span><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

    This pathology should be treated by a specialist in coloproctology, which is responsible for the diagnosis and treatment of diseases of the colon, rectum and anus.<\/p>\n

    As we know, the pilonidal<\/b> cyst is located in the region above the intergluteal fold, an area of treatment for this specialist.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
