Sebaceous Cysts on Scrotum

AcneAffectedMale
I've been diagnosed with sebaceous cysts on my scrotum skin (18). 2 of them are medium, and the rest are tiny. None are infected. My doc wants to excise them. 1. What is "sac-removal"? 2. How on earth can Scrotum skin be anesthetized? With a needle? That's eventually 18 needle shots for me, MY GOD! 3. Any alternatives to this excision business? 4. Dissolvable sutures ok for scrotum? 5. When doc said this is minor stuff did he say that for comfort Or is sebaceous cysts removal complicated?
