Many people have an epidermoid cyst and a lot of them confuse it with the sebaceous cyst. The difference is that the epidermoid cyst is common whilst sebaceous is not and it comes from glands that actually lubricated hair and skin.
Sebaceous and epidermoid cysts are not harmful and they don’t require any sort of treatment. But people usually remove them because they make them look bad. They usually turn for medical or surgical methods to remove it, but they are pricy. However, don’t lose hope because there are effective and cheap home remedies for that.
Note: It is important to know that some of the remedies are just assistants of the removing process.
Apple Cider Vinegar
Apple cider vinegar contains acetic acid, which gives it the power to fight cysts. It actually serves as a protective agent because it protects the skin from bacteria and terminates infections caused by cysts. You only have to directly apply the vinegar to the cyst then use a bandage to cover it. Make sure to do this every day for weeks until a hard layer of skin starts forming on top of the cyst. When the hard skin is formed, remove it so that the cyst drains, and make sure that the area is clean for at least a week until the skin starts growing back again
Dandelion
Mix a tablespoon of dandelion with viola and you got yourself a blend that can fight infections caused by cysts. You only have to seep the mixture in boiling water for about 45 minutes then start staining the concoction. Start drinking it 4 times a day for 10 days. Try to apply the solution directly to the infected area for more relief.

This magical gift can soothe the infected parts of the skin. Just fill your bathtub with water and pour in Epsom salt, then sit in the tub and make sure to soak the infected area, and watch the magic happen when the salt starts doing its job.
