AIM OF THIS POST:

Today we started with a small introduction about what sebaceous cyst is ,clinical features with which patient presents,treatment options available ,complication and finally about differential diagnosis .the main reason to post about sebaceous cyst is today we had gone to see minor OT wherein we saw sebaceous cyst case in order to get clear picture about sebaceous cyst i have posted this hope this would have informative and helped you learn if it helped you learn then do let me know in the comment section below as this would motivate me to post more such content .do stay connected through instagram as well
