I have had a few sebaceous cysts removed. One of them 3 times.
Just squeezing the sebum and/or puss out is not enough as the sack will continue to produce sebum (dead skin and oil).
I had a doctor cut one of my cysts out, sack and all, but he obviously mist a very small amount of cyst tissue, so the sack grew again to fill the void left behind after surgery. But when it grew back a few years later it got infected, filled with puss, and grew about 30x bigger than the original cyst. It looked like a litteral golf ball under my skin. A of anti biotics and 2 more attempts to cut it out, i believe it is now gone for good.
