Scrotal Surgery
Scrotal Sebaceous Cyst
Dr. Adarsh M. Patil provides expert scrotal sebaceous cyst treatment in Bangalore at Apollo Clinic, Indiranagar. Scrotal sebaceous cysts are benign, encapsulated lumps that form when sebaceous glands in the scrotal skin become blocked. Complete surgical excision under local anaesthesia ensures permanent removal with minimal scarring and same-day discharge.
About Scrotal Sebaceous Cyst
Scrotal sebaceous cyst treatment in Bangalore is expertly performed by Dr. Adarsh M. Patil at Apollo Clinic, Indiranagar, and SPARSH Hospital, Bengaluru. A scrotal sebaceous cyst develops when a sebaceous (oil-producing) gland in the scrotal skin becomes blocked, forming a smooth, firm, encapsulated lump filled with keratin and lipid material. While benign, these cysts can enlarge over time, become infected, or cause discomfort during physical activity. Dr. Adarsh performs complete surgical excision including the cyst wall (capsule) under local anaesthesia as a day-care procedure, ensuring the cyst does not recur. The scrotal skin heals well with minimal scarring due to its excellent blood supply. Patients return to normal activities within 2-3 days.
