What’s Causing This Sebaceous Cyst?
Trying to remove it yourself can be risky for many reasons:
To remove a sebaceous cyst, soak a cotton ball in apple cider vinegar and apply it to the cyst 3 times a day to help dry it out. Alternatively, dab some witch hazel on the area with a q-tip several times daily.
Treating a sebaceous cyst will require a consult from a medical professional to assess the sebaceous cyst and determine if needs to be left alone or to be managed medically either by medication therapy or through surgery if found to be malignant. Generally, sebaceous cyst needs to be left alone and they cause little harm to the daily lifestyle.

ICD-10 Code for Sebaceous cyst- L72. 3- Codify by AAPC.
A chalazion (or meibomian cyst) is a small lump or swelling in the eyelid, containing fluid or semi-solid material. It is a fairly common condition and is caused by a blockage in one of the small glands in the eyelid, called the meibomian gland. Often, the blocked gland becomes inflamed or infected.

Sebaceous cysts may also occur in the aging patient around the eyelid area and clinically resemble epidermal inclusion cysts. They are generally found in locations with many hair follicles, particularly the brow area and medial canthus.
A chalazion is a less painful chronic infection on the inside edge of the eyelid (conjunctival side) affecting the Zeis or meibomian (oil-secreting) glands. Styes, or hordeola, are painful infected lesions on the edge of the eyelid (eyelash follicles) that come on quickly and eventually break open and drain.
Eyelid Bump Causes A stye usually stems from an infection in an eyelid oil gland or eyelash follicle. Stress and hormonal changes can also cause it. A chalazion happens when a tiny part of your eyelid called a meibomian gland becomes blocked.
The correct code is 10060. Incision and Drainage of abscess, cyst.
Sebaceous cyst excision A code for excision of a benign lesion (e.g., 11400), specific to location and size of the cyst, would probably be most appropriate.
The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM L72.3 became effective on October 1, 2021.
A type 2 excludes note represents "not included here". A type 2 excludes note indicates that the condition excluded is not part of the condition it is excluded from but a patient may have both conditions at the same time. When a type 2 excludes note appears under a code it is acceptable to use both the code ( L72.3) and the excluded code together.
