How does a sebaceous cyst get infected?
You know that’s got to be one painful thing. A sebaceous cyst is bad enough, but an infected one? That’s just adding insult to injury, or rather pain to pus.
If you’re reading this, chances are you’ve already experienced this phenomenon firsthand and are wondering how in the world it happened. Well folks, today we’re going into the weird and wacky world of sebaceous cyst infections.
What Are Sebaceous Cysts?
Before we delve deep into infections though, let’s first establish what a sebaceous cyst even is.
Sebaceous glands produce oil (sebum) under our skin which helps keep our skin lubed up and resistant to water loss etcetera- ya’ll get the drill. Sometimes these little glands become blocked and voila! Hellooo…cyst-y area!
Now most of us have had at least one pesky pimple before in our lives right? Think of a sebaceous cyst as similar but less straightforward.Our friend Mr.Seboceous will always be lurking around if we’re not careful with taking care of our skin hygiene (wash your face‼).
It’s essentially like regular acne or pimples on steroids; they can grow larger than non-cystic zits because there’s no opening for all that lovely gunk building up inside them to escape through/ They just keep growing,growing,grooowinggg, until eventually becoming noticeable/not so cute/severely uncomfortable.
Eek. Not pretty.
Okay, now imagine after staring at it ad nauseam each morning,pining for some relief… It gets worse over time.(Double Eeek.). We’ll call this Boomerang Bobbie (she won’t quit!)
Infection: The Ultimate Betrayal
Just when you thought things couldn’t get any worse,Bobbie becomes infected.
So, how does this happen? Let’s take a look:
1. Does Anyone Really Know?
The honest answer is that no one knows for certain what causes sebaceous cysts to become infected.
We can try and play detective though- It could be through hygiene related issues (i.e.touching it too much with dirty hands) or environmental factors affecting the area( maybe Bobbie went swimming in some bacteria infested pond recently?)it’s sadly pretty difficult to determine the primary cause without going through all of your recent activities with…a fine toothed comb 😄.
2.The Skin Barrier Breakdown
Regardless of how the cyst got there in the first place, if somehow its protective skin covering breaks down/opens up/damaged by something (keep away from those tweezers), bacteria seize (previously mentioned gangsters😒) while minding their biz & infect our dear Boomerang Bobbie.(ugh!) Just remember that they are always ready to party Hard,and we know living life on hard mode isn’t good approach-thus maintain personal hygiene.(and twice at sports centres).
That’s it folks, game over 🙆🏽♀️! You’ve been defeated by Boomerang Barbara and her bacterial buddies.
Symptoms Of An Infected Cyst:
If you suspect infection here’s what you should expect/symptoms:
– Considerable pain around/on affected site
– redness/swelling,
-warmth around site
-fever(if severe)
In Summary…
While we may not understand fully why infections occur;we do have some insight into risks associated with subjecting ourselves to them.It falls back mainly into keeping active lifestyles/projects/hobbies, taking regular showers/hand washing etc. and maybe noting new symptoms-maybe just read it again,yeah?
