Epidermoid cysts are a relatively common occurrence for many people. Several people refer to epidermoid cysts as sebaceous cysts, but this is a common mistake. Real sebaceous cysts are uncommon and originate from the sebaceous glands that lubricate hair and skin.
Usually painless, epidermoid cysts do not often require treatment. However, sometimes infection or appearance lead to people opting for removal. While there are certainly medical facilities equipped to handle the removal, many people opt for a more natural approach to healing. Here, we will discuss those options.

Home Remedies for Epidermoid Cyst Removal
Fortunately, some home remedies can assist with the removal of a skin cyst.
Apple Cider Vinegar
The acetic acid found in apple cider vinegar proves to be the helpful agent in combatting cysts. It works to protect the skin from bacteria and kill the infection brought on by the cyst. Just apply the vinegar directly to the infected area and cover with a bandage. The same process must be completed daily for a week until a hard layer of skin forms over the cyst. Remove the hard layer to allow the cyst to drain. Keep the area clean and within a week, new skin will start to grow.
Dandelion
One tablespoon of dandelion mixed with viola can fight infection brought on by cysts. Simply seep the mixture in boiling water for 45 minutes. Strain the concoction and drink it up to 4 times per day for up to 10 days. You can even use the solution to apply directly to the cysts for added relief.
