I'm dealing with a sebaceous cyst right next to my left eye and I'm really unsure about what to do. Could you guide me on the best treatment options to consider?

For Sebaceous cyst near your left eye, the best treatment option would be to use warm compresses to help reduce inflammation and promote drainage. You can also apply an antibiotic ointment like Bacitracin or Neosporin to prevent infection. If the cyst is large or causing discomfort, it may need to be surgically removed by a doctor. Please consult with a healthcare professional for proper evaluation and management.
