No, hydrocortisone will not get rid of sebaceous cysts. The only way to get rid of them is to have them removed, including the sac. Usually, this involves a relatively simple bedside procedure that can be done in your primary care doctor's office where your physician will use a local anesthetic to numb the skin over the cyst, a scalpel to cut the skin overlying it and will extract it with a pair of hemostats. He may or may not drain the material inside the cyst first. Some people feel it is easier to get all the sac out if the cyst has been drained first, others disagree. So long as the entire sac has been removed, the cyst should not recur.

What are cysts?

Cysts are small anatomically normal sac or bladder-like structure (especially one containing fluid).It is also a closed sac that develops abnormally in some body structure.The word cyst is derived from the greek work Kystis, which means bladder. Today it is used in medicine to mean a sac like structure which contains fluid, gas, or a semisolid material with a lining. The name of the cyst is from the type of cells that make up the lining of the cyst. For example a follicular cysts has a lining consisting of cells which make up hair follicles. Other follicular cysts are named because they contain cells from the ovarian follicles. Sebaceous cysts are lined by cells from sebaceous glands of hair follicles. Some cysts are named for their contents such as hemorrhagic or blood cysts which are so named because they result from the encapsulation of a hematoma.
