Question
A child recently developed a black spot on their waist, about the size of a small bean when touched. It is slightly painful when pressed. I don’t know what it could be? What could be the cause? What should I do?
Answer
Based on your description of this condition, it’s worth considering that it might be a sebaceous cyst. The recurrence of this cyst could be due to skin metabolic disorders, which lead to the formation of a small cyst. It is a benign tumor of the skin and poses no harm to the body. No treatment is needed, and if the contents inside are expelled, it can heal on its own. Currently, there’s no need to address it; it will gradually dissolve and stabilize on its own, possibly leaving behind a small lump, which doesn’t require any attention.
