Three principal methods of treatment were described: a medical regimen in which supervised administration of parenteral drugs and manual emptying of the sacs was performed over a 2‐week period–suitable in mild cases; a surgical regimen based on the well‐known methods of excision with special attention to the surgical approach, and a pseudoradical method in which the sacs were sclerosed by a method of irrigation with suitable fixative solutions. A reference is made to the concomitant dermatoses and their simultaneous treatment.
