Sebaceous Cyst ?
I recently noticed a bubble
gum ball size knot on my dog's
left upper limb area and it
feels moveable like a
sebaceous cyst, it isn't red
or shows any signs of
infection. Does anyone have
any experience with these and
what should i do? She is a 4
year old Silky Terrier and had
a pea size one about a year
ago on her back which
disappeared. It does not seem
to be causing her any
discomfort when palpated
either.

Some of them go away on their own, but some will grow and need the vet to remove.. Just watch it, and if it grows, or become sensitive, take her to the vet..If she is unspayed, the most dangerous type will grow when she cycles... Westies are known for having a lot of cysts. |

Can a sebaceous cyst be About 18 months ago I had a
sebaceous cyst removed just on
my solar plexus, however, I
have something that feels like
a sebaceous cyst above my
eyebrow. However, with the
sebaceous cyst on my chest, I
had it surgically removed with
a local anaesthetic. My
question is; can I have one
removed if it develops above
my eyebrow?

You can certainly have it removed - you may well be able to have it removed under local anaesthetic - go, see your doc before the little critter gets a big critter|! |

How can I get direct heat on a My husband has a sebaceous
cyst in his ear canal, and I'd
like to try using heat to
treat it. How can I get DIRECT
heat on the cyst specifically?
I can use a heating pad, but
I'm thinking "concentrated"
heat right on the cyst. Any
ideas?
He has been seen by an ear
doctor, and will have the cyst
removed next month under
General Anesthesia, but if I
can maybe avoid this by home
treatment, I'd like to.
Thanks.
