I've had a sebaceous cyst on my scrotum for about 3 years now and really want to avoid surgery. Are there any other ways to treat it or make it go away naturally?

Occasionally, small scrotal sebaceous cysts may go away on their own. The use of a warm compress a couple of times a day can help reduce the size of the cyst or swelling by encouraging the cyst to drain or reabsorb into the body. However, larger cysts are unlikely to go away without surgical treatment.
