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.

I'm only 18, and I'm really worried because I'm facing pattern baldness at such a young age. I'm the only one among my peers with this V-shaped hairline; everyone else my age has a straight hairline. I feel like I'm odd one out and really don't know how to cope with this. Honestly, it makes me feel very self-conscious and upset. I'm aware that the usual treatments are things like propecia and rogaine, or finasteride and minoxidil, but I'm thinking about taking Dutasteride avodart instead. Could that be a good option for me? I'm just wondering if this will help or if there's something else I should consider. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I've been using sofradex cream on my face for the past 15 years because my skin is really oily and I wanted to get rid of pimples. Now, I can't find the cream anywhere, and my face has started to get dry and itchy. The skin around my eyelids is drying out too, and I'm noticing wrinkles forming. I always applied the cream at night, and I'm worried about what to do next. Any advice on how to handle this situation?
