"Treatments for sebaceous cysts
Sebaceous cysts most often disapear on their own and are not dangerous. Occasionally, they may become inflamed and tender. Sometimes sebaceous cysts grow large that they may interfere with your everyday life. When this happens, surgical removal in your health care provider's office may be necessary. Small inflamed cysts can often be treated by injection of steroid medications or with antibiotics.".

It will not go away on its own. It requires a doctor. He or she will lance the cyst, drain it and put you on antibiotics. DO NOT attempt to drain it yourself, you can cause a MAJOR infection by doing so.

Go to the doctor. It is very painful if it pops or is ruptured, from my understanding. (my dog had one. i dont know if its the same in humans or not)
