Sebaceous Cyst: Causes, Symptoms, and Prevention
The sebaceous glands produce सिबम (Sebum), a natural oil for lubricating the skin and hair. Blockage of these glands causes cyst formation.
Cuts, scrapes, or skin irritation can lead to the formation of a cyst.
Conditions like गॉर्डनर सिंड्रोम (Gardner Syndrome) or बेसल सेल नेव्हस सिंड्रोम (Basal Cell Nevus Syndrome) increase the risk of sebaceous cysts.
Increased sebum production due to hormonal changes can contribute to cyst formation.
Bacterial infections can sometimes block hair follicles or sebaceous glands, leading to cysts.

If the cyst is located in an area prone to friction.
Clean your skin regularly to reduce oil buildup and clogged pores.
Be gentle while shaving or handling the skin to prevent irritation.
Use non-comedogenic skincare products to reduce sebum production.
Treat minor skin infections early to prevent blockages.
