Sebaceous Cyst Test

A sebaceous cyst is a small, sac-like growth that forms under the skin. It is filled with sebum, an oily substance produced by the sebaceous glands in the skin. Sebaceous cysts are usually harmless, but they can sometimes become infected or irritated.

The sebaceous cyst test is a tissue test that is used to diagnose and rule out other conditions that can cause similar symptoms. The test involves removing a small piece of tissue from the cyst and examining it under a microscope.

The sebaceous cyst test is a simple and painless procedure that is often performed in a doctor's clinic or at hospitals or at leading pathology laboratories. The results of the test are typically available within a few days.

Note: We at healthcare nt sickcare do not collect tissue specimens at our laboratory. Patients are requested to collect the same at their doctor's clinic or hospital.
