Epidermoid cyst may be classified as a sebaceous cyst , [ 15 ] although technically speaking it is not sebaceous. [ 16 ] "
A sebaceous cyst is a term commonly used to refer to either: [1] Epidermoid cysts (also termed epidermal cysts, infundibular cyst) Pilar cysts (also termed trichelemmal cysts, isthmus-catagen cysts) Both of the above types of cysts contain keratin, not sebum, and neither originates from sebaceous glands.

A boil, also called a furuncle, is a deep folliculitis, which is an infection of the hair follicle. It is most commonly caused by infection by the bacterium Staphylococcus aureus, resulting in a painful swollen area on the skin caused by an accumulation of pus and dead tissue.
