	Sebaceous cyst - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A sebaceous cyst (a form of trichilemmal cyst; also called: keratin cyst; sometimes wrongfully called: epidermal cyst or epidermoid cyst (see ICD-10 L72.0)) is a closed sac or cyst below the surface of the skin that fills with a fatty white, semi-solid material called sebum.
		The scalp, ears, genitals, and face are common sites for sebaceous cysts, though they may occur anywhere on the body except the palms of the hands and soles of the feet.
		Surgical excision of a sebaceous cyst is a simple procedure to completely remove the sac and its contents.

	Sebaceous gland - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Sebaceous glands can usually be found in hair-covered areas where they are connected to hair follicles, deposit sebum on the hairs, and bring it to the skin surface along the hair shaft.
		Sebaceous glands are also found in non haired areas of lips, eyelids, penis, labia minora and nipples; here the sebum reaches the surface through ducts.
		Sebaceous glands are involved in skin problems such as acne and keratosis pilaris.

		A pilar cyst is a cyst where the cyst sac forms from cells similar to those that are in the bottom of hair follicles (where hairs grow from).

		A sebaceous cyst occurs when keratin-producing glands in the skin become clogged, causing the gland to enlarge.
		The term "sebaceous" cyst is something of a misnomer because these cysts do not, in fact, occur in the sebaceous glands but in the skin's hair (keratin) producing follicles.
		Sebaceous glands produce sebum, an oily substance of unknown function though it undoubtedly has significance since humans have more and larger sebum-producing sebaceous glands than most mammals.

	Is it a Sebaceous Cyst or Wart? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		I was so worried that it was a wart, so I went to the health clinic and a nurse examined me. She said she didn't think it was a wart because it didn't look like one and didn't have any cauliflower appearance traits.

		I think I have another condition called sebaceous prominence, so I think this makes it more likely that this is a cyst of some kind.
