Question : I have what I determined to be scrotal cysts from looking on the internet and at pictures on related medical websites. I would say 4-7 are considered large (pea size), and the rest (20ish) are smaller more resembling small pimples. I understand this is caused by blockage of the hair folecules? My question is what is involved in removal and what is a broad range cost? Is there a way to make the smaller ones go away with a simple at home method?

Detailed Answer:
Hello. Welcome to Healthcaremagic.com. I have read your query. I understand your concern.
As per details, it seems that you are having a condition called Steacystoma multiplex.
You are right , these are caused by blockage of sebaceous glands and excess secretory activity of sebaceous glands. These are benign cysts and are harmless. These are of cosmetic concern only.
The best treatment modality for Steacystoma multiplex is removal of cysts by using Radiofrequency/ Electrocautery/punch excision. The procedure involves removal of the collected material inside cyst with ablation of wall of cyst.
The cost of procedure varies from centre to centre. There is no home remedy nor can
Be prevented by any method.
You my consult your nearby Dermatologist and get it operated.
I hope it helps. Take care.
