Sebaceous Cyst are common noncancerous cyst of the skin, are abnormalities in the body that may contain liquid or semiliquid material. Mostly found on the Scalp, face, neck, back; grow slowly are not life threatening, but may become uncomfortable if go unchecked.

Sebaceous cyst form out of sebaceous gland, which produces the oil called sebum, that coats out hair and skin. Cyst can develop if the gland or its duct, i.e.  the passage of the oil if becomes damaged or blocked, usually due to a trauma to the area may be a scratch, a surgical wound or a skin condition, as acne; grow slowly, so the trauma may occurred weeks or months before you notice the cyst.
