Epidermal Inclusion Cyst (EIC)

Epidermal Inclusion Cyst (EIC) - These benign cysts can be found anywhere on the body where there are hair follicles. If the base of a hair follicle weakens, it can become dilated. Dead skin, instead of making a clean eggress to the surface, moves retrograde and enlarges the cyst. Sometimes a cheesy white material that smells musty can exude from a central pore overlying the cyst. They are benign, but can sometimes become infected. Surgical excision is the treatment of choice.
