Strategies to Prevent Sebaceous Cysts
Sebaceous cysts are caused by clogged oil glands and can be painful if left untreated. But by following these steps, you can prevent forming sebaceous cysts in the future.
Keep Your Skin Clean
Regularly washing your face, body, and hair will help to remove excess oils, dirt, and bacteria that can cause cysts to form. Use gentle cleansing agents and warm water. Avoid history scrubbing or using very hot water.
Use a Humidifier
Humidity can help to prevent sebaceous cysts, and keep your skin hydrated. A humidifier placed in your bedroom can raise the relative humidity of the air and help reduce your risk of developing sebaceous cysts.
Avoid Trauma to Your Skin
Frequent squeezing or picking at pimples and cysts can cause trauma to your skin, and increase the risk of developing sebaceous cysts. Stop squeezing, picking, and popping any existing pimples or cysts.
Eat Healthy Foods
Eating a healthy diet that's low in fat and high in fresh fruits and vegetables can help to nourish your skin and reduce sebaceous cyst formation. Avoid processed foods that are high in sugar, saturated fats, and artificial ingredients.
Wear Breathable Clothing
Tight-fitting clothing and restrictive materials can trap bacteria and cause cysts to form. Wear loose-fitting clothing made from natural fabrics, avoiding synthetic and nylon materials.
