Cysts on the scalp or head can be quite common and often benign. Here are some key points regarding their presence and treatment:### Types of Cysts
1. **Epidermoid Cysts**: These are filled with keratin and are usually harmless.
2. **Pilar Cysts**: Often found on the scalp, they’re similar to epidermoid cysts but occur around hair follicles.
Symptoms
– Generally painless, but they can become inflamed or infected.
– May vary in size and can sometimes be mistaken for other conditions.
Treatment Options
1. **Observation**: If the cyst is not causing discomfort or cosmetic concerns, it may just be monitored.
2. **Surgical Removal**: If the cyst is bothersome, a doctor can remove it under local anesthesia. This is often the most effective solution.
3. **Drainage**: For infected cysts, drainage may be necessary, but complete removal is typically recommended to prevent recurrence.
When to See a Doctor
– If the cyst becomes painful, red, or swollen.
– If there are changes in size or appearance.
Consulting a healthcare professional can provide the best guidance for management or removal based on individual circumstances.
