The sebaceous cyst is a lump that forms under the skin anywhere on the body and can move when touched or pressed. Here's how to identify the sebaceous cyst.
This type of cyst can be removed naturally by applying oils or gels directly into the cyst, or surgically in the doctor's office under local anesthesia. In addition, warm or warm compress on site is recommended for 10 to 15 minutes. It is not recommended to try to remove the cyst manually, as it can generate local inflammation and a greater chance of infection.
Aloe vera gel
Aloe vera is a natural plant that has regenerating, hydrating and anti-inflammatory properties, aiding in the treatment of inflammation and infections. Find out what the benefits of aloe vera are.
The aloe vera gel can be prepared at home or be purchased in supermarkets or pharmacies.
Ingredient
- Aloe vera leaf
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice or 500mg vitamin C powder
Method of preparation
Cut the aloe vera sheet and put it in a container for about 10 minutes so that the resin present in the sheet and that can cause irritation is eliminated. Then peel the sheet, remove the gel with a spoon and place in a clean container. Add the lemon juice or vitamin C powder, so that the properties of aloe vera are potentiated, mix and then apply to the cyst.
Garlic oil
A good home remedy to remove sebaceous cysts from the skin can be done with oil and some cloves of garlic. This oil contains the medicinal properties of garlic that will help in the reabsorption of the cysts through the skin without causing irritation or pain. But its use is indicated only for the removal of the sebaceous cyst up to 1 centimeter in diameter since the larger ones should be removed through a minor surgery.
Ingredients
- 100 ml of any oil, may be sunflower, canola or other
- 14 garlic cloves whole and with peel
Method of preparation
In a small ceramic pot, place the oil and garlic cloves and cook over low heat for a few minutes until the garlic cloves are cooked, softened and not fried. Then extinguish the heat and let cool, strain the mixture and apply a little oil daily on top of the cyst making a small local massage for a few minutes, with circular movements. To supplement this home treatment, apply a hot water bottle over the cyst and let it act for about 10 minutes before applying the oil and after applying the oil.
Attention: It is very important not to use metallic utensils in the preparation of this oil or it will not result and never try to squeeze a sebaceous cyst because if this happens, there is a risk of infection and cyst increase in size.
Apple vinegar
Apple cider vinegar can be used to remove sebaceous cysts, as it has anti-inflammatory properties, in addition to avoiding infections. It is recommended to use apple cider vinegar 3 to 4 times a day for a week.
