The sabacious cyst is not going away

2020-08-15 08:56:20
My twin sister got a cyst in her right breast for 5 years almost its smaller than a bead .. the doctor said it a sebacious cyst. still its there, when she squeeze it then it swells & slightly painful otherwise it remains flattened with skin. Can this turn into cancer? Is there any chance of it going away on its own? Can it grow larger?
