epidermal inclusion cyst - #17281

A few weeks ago, I noticed a small lump under my skin near my shoulder, and it seemed to grow gradually over time. At first, I didn’t think much of it, but as the bump started to get bigger, I became concerned. It wasn’t painful, but it felt firm, and it seemed to be getting more noticeable. After visiting my doctor, I was told that I have an epidermal inclusion cyst, and the doctor explained that it’s a benign growth that forms when a hair follicle or skin pore becomes blocked. I had never heard of an epidermal inclusion cyst before, so I started researching it. I learned that these cysts are generally harmless, and they can sometimes resolve on their own, but if they become painful, infected, or unsightly, they might need to be drained or surgically removed. My doctor suggested monitoring it, but I’m still concerned about whether I need to do something now or if I should just leave it alone. I’ve heard that some people with epidermal inclusion cysts find relief with natural treatments, so I started wondering if there are any remedies that could help reduce the size or discomfort of the cyst without having to resort to surgery or other medical interventions. Since I prefer natural remedies, I started looking into Ayurveda for potential solutions. Does Ayurveda offer treatments for epidermal inclusion cysts? I read that Ayurveda focuses on balancing the doshas, and that excess Pitta or Kapha might lead to the formation of cysts or other skin issues. Could balancing these doshas help prevent the cyst from growing or reduce any discomfort? Are there Ayurvedic herbs or treatments that can help reduce the size of an epidermal inclusion cyst? I’ve heard that Turmeric, Neem, and Aloe Vera are commonly used for skin health—do they actually help with cysts, and how should they be applied? I’ve also read that regular oil massage or detoxifying practices can help balance the skin and prevent further growth of cysts. Could these methods help with epidermal inclusion cysts? If anyone has dealt with epidermal inclusion cysts and found relief through Ayurveda or natural treatments, I’d love to hear your experience. Did any herbal remedies, oils, or lifestyle changes help reduce the cyst? I’m hoping to manage this condition naturally before resorting to medical procedures.
