Hello Jeffrey, Welcome to healthcare magic Multiple sebaceous cysts over the site mentioned by you is possible but not so common. Was the diagnosis confirmed by a dermatologist or is it self diagnosis ? I would recommend a dermatologist's face to face consultation to rule out acne cysts.
Sebaceous cysts need to be excised totally, better done by a dermato surgeon or plastic surgeon. Do not try to squeeze it. It can get infected causing pain and redness. As two lesions are painful there is a chance that it is infected. You might require a course of antibiotics. It would not harm your brain. There is no diet restrictions for sebaceous cyst. Hope this helped Take care
