Jaipur, India
55 DoctorsSai Shah, a 28-year-old software engineer,...
Sai Shah, a 28-year-old software engineer, had a small, painless bump on her upper back for years. Recently, it became inflamed, red, and tender, often leaking a foul-smelling, cheesy material that stained her clothes. It made her self-conscious, especially when wearing traditional sarees or backless blouses for family events. Her dermatologist, Dr. Mehta, explained it was an infected sebaceous cyst and recommended excision to prevent recurrent infections and scarring. During the in-office procedure under local anesthesia, Sai felt pressure but no pain. The cyst, which was larger than it appeared, was completely removed. Recovery involved keeping the area clean and dry for a week. The stitches dissolved, leaving a faint, flat line. Emotionally, Sai felt immense relief. The constant worry about odor and staining was gone, restoring her confidence to wear the clothes she loved without anxiety.
