Anyone ever had a sebaceous cyst?

If so where and did your doctor remove it or let it be. I have one in a uncomfortable spot it was discovered by a nurse practitioner and i have to go see a regular doctor about it but she doesnt think he will do anything about it I am just curious I read up on them and heard they can last forever if not taken care of by a doctor,but that they are generally harmless.

They are just a "clogged" up pore and generally harmless. Some can get very large tho and need to be drained..others may go away...if you are overly concerned stick with your NP and see your doctor..that's best.
