I have had a sebaceous cyst on my head for quite some time.  It has gotten bigger this past year, and about a week ago started leaking when I am always at it.  The fluid is clear with traces of very little blood,and the cyst area is sore...is this normal?
Hi, Good Evening. Thanks for the query to Chat Doctor. I studied it in depth and I understood your health concerns.-Treatment-for Sebaceous Cyst of the head-1- In my opinion -the clear fluid appears to be due to the cellulitis fluid due to the handling of it by you and hence little of fluid -indicating that the infection is not advanced and could be controlled with proper treatment with ER Surgeon.2-As rightly said by you the cyst is not painful and red, but is sore due to excessive handling by you with less of fluid discharge.3-So I would advise you to Consult a Surgeon and who would treat it accordingly as told above and with proper antibiotics and anti-inflammatory and proper Chat Doctor. 4-Dont get scared and uneasy, but be cautious and act fast. Hope this would help you a lot to relieve you. Wish you fast recovery-and healthy life. Wellcome to Chat Doctor with more queries till you are satisfied. Have a Good Day...!!
