Home remedies to cure Sebaceous Cyst

Commonly seen on the scalp, behind ears, face, arms, or other places except for the palm and the sole of feet, the Sebaceous Cyst are the bumps underneath skin. Usually they appear on the areas where there is more hair; they contain sebum, and occur mainly owing to the blockage of the sebaceous gland and some other reasons. As long as the cysts are small and go away after sometime, you do not need to do anything. However, if you think they are becoming problematic, try treating them with these following home remedies:
