How Can I Prevent Sebaceous Cysts on Body and Treat Them to Prevent Scarring?

I have been having sebaceous cysts on top of my pubic area since I was 12-years-old. As I've grown into my early 20s, I noticed that I get these cysts on top of my pubic area and under my breasts practically monthly. Most come and go, as painful as they are, but a few have already caused scarring under one of my breasts and a patch on my lower stomach (they almost look like acne scars). I am mortified. Enough is enough. I want to prevent any more scars from ever occurring and stressing over them.
