Quick Summary:

Epidermal Inclusion Cyst (EIC) is a very common and benign skin cyst that is usually seen in young and middle-aged adults
The risk factors for Epidermal Inclusion Cysts may include the presence of acne, long-term sun exposure, and repeat trauma to the skin. However, many of them are known to occur in a sporadic manner
The cysts may occur anywhere in the body; the common sites are the face and trunk region. In most cases, Epidermal Inclusion Cysts do not present any pain or other significant signs and symptoms. When EICs grow, the process is usually very slow
Typically, for asymptomatic and non-infected cysts, no treatment may be necessary, as Epidermal Inclusion Cysts are known to resolve by their own
Large and infected cysts may be surgically excised/removed. The prognosis of Epidermal Inclusion Cyst is excellent with suitable treatment, although the cysts are known to recur
