A sebaceous cyst is a closed sac under the skin filled with a cheese-like or oily, semi-solid material called sebum. Sebum is produced by sebaceous glands of the epidermis.
A foul odor is also often present in the substance called keratin which fills sebaceous cysts. Keratin is a protein that creates the sac of cells called sebaceous cysts. The bumps or lumps that can feel under the skin are actually the sac of cells.
Sebaceous cyst arises due to the blockage of the sebaceous gland. It occurs anywhere in the body except sole and palm.
CAUSE of Sebaceous cysts
• Blocked sebaceous glands.
• Swollen hair follicles.
• Excessive testosterone production.
• Skin trauma.
• Hereditary causes of sebaceous cysts include Gardner’s syndrome, and basal cell nevus syndrome.

Hi, poor kitty. With love and healing please adopt a raw holistic biological species appropriate diet. I have veterinary care and completed my pet nutrition dioloma in cats, dogs and horses. All my cats lived ages 17-23 years young with no disease from nutrition imbalance. Because “all” commercial pet foods tins and packets are non biological meaning unfit for a strict carnivore such as a cat ailments incl diabetes, obesity, arthrits, heart and kidney disease incl hyperthyroidism and cancer and serious gut and skin allergies result. The oils used are not appropriate transfats abd carcinogens hills, science diet etc all the same toxic waste. Your cat’s body desperately requires raw meat and raw meat bones packed full of correctly balanced minerals, animal saturated fats, amino and EFFA’s these cannot be simulated to a biological state for a cat. (Watch pet fooled and get book give your dog a bone dr ian billinghurst similar principals apply for cats) raw chicken necks mashed up or feed a quarter of a raw quail or spatcock buy at woollies or coles. Give meredith dairy GOAT YOGURT “only” stop any cow dairy incl cheese!! Feed raw beef lamb chicken must be organic and brunswick sardines in springwater no afded salt 3 tins per week. Pulse or finely chop baby spinach leaves 1 teaspoon per day 4x per week just mix intobraw meat choice. NO GRAINS ever! No biscuits again full of sugar carbs up to 59% in a bag disrupts gut and hormones entire body integrity…too much to explain. Nutrition IS THE KEY TO BALANCED HEALTH AND LONGEVITY when its out of alignment disease sets in. You can reverse the cysts by changing the diet and using homeopathy. But if the diet dosent change the disease will manifest into other ailments or further serious illness. Ive got over 20 yrs experience with animals in husbandry and healing. Its so easy to feed a kitty go to Dr Karen Beckers site healthy pets and start from there. My studies encompassed Dr K Becker knowlege. Wishing you all the best ypu can do it. Also remember to omly vaccinate 5-7 years demand a TITER test prior to any vaccination. And minimal use of antiparasitics topical and tablets these poisions kills the paradites whilst disrupting your cats organs incl blood its poision and circulates in their little bodies can make them very sick either acutely or slowly. Pets on processes pet foods naturally attract parasites why? Because their immunity is weakened. Pets on a raw food diet have less parasites why? Because their bodies are naturally designed to cope with them as their bodies immhnity is strong. You can win this. Also Rescue Remedy cream. Its non toxic. Go to martin and pleasance wensite and get the cream. X
