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.

I'm experiencing some real trouble with my lips. They've been drying out and peeling every few days for about three months now. I've been using Tacrolimus, but nothing seems to be improving. It's really just my lower lip that's affected. It gets red, peels every third day, and any new skin that forms also dries out and flakes, especially when it comes into contact with water. It's starting to mess with my confidence. I think the problem started when I was experimenting with new lip balms. Could you help me figure out how to fix this? Having dry and flaky lips isn't aesthetically pleasing, and it's really starting to get me down.
