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've been using Mintop 10 for about a year and a half now on my dermatologist's advice, and it was working well for me. But even a short break from it seems to lead to hair loss again. My doctor recently prescribed Morr F 10 instead, but the user booklet mentions a lot of side effects stuff like sexual and cardiac issues. I'm kind of worried. Should I stick with the Morr F 10 or go back to using Mintop 10? What do you think would be best for me?

continue Morr F 10..
