I've got a sebaceous pilar cyst on my head, and I'm looking to get it removed. I'm really worried and curiouswill my hair grow back after the cyst is taken out?
Sebaceous pilar cysts can be removed through a minor surgical procedure called excision. Hair typically grows back after the removal of a sebaceous pilar cyst, as long as the hair follicles are not damaged during the procedure. It is important to follow post-operative care instructions provided by your healthcare provider to promote proper healing and minimize the risk of complications.
