How Can I Treat Sebanceous Cysts?

February 28, 2011
Asked By:Breaux Bridge in Breaux Bridge

In the last 3 years these cysts have gotten so bad I always end up in the hospital and surgery. I have seen almost every kind of doctor & they all tell me "It's just my body, learn to deal with it"!! This is unacceptable, I'm 40 and have missed alot of work in the last 2 years. The cysts are mainly on my buttocks & face, rarely do I get them anywhere else. I'm in pain 60% of the time and now my internalist wants to put me on accutane. I took this medicine in 1996 (twice) and didnt work
