I've had a cyst on my head for the past two years and have been using homeopathy to manage it. The size goes down when I take the medicine but starts growing again if I stop. Could this be cancer? Should I consider surgery? My family is really worried about this

Cyst regrowth after homeopathy suggests surgical removal; most scalp cysts are benign but biopsy confirms.

I'm really concerned about my hair after an accident a month ago. I got stitches on my scalp and I'm worried about whether hair will grow back on the scar and around it. It seems like my hair is falling out more every day. Is there any treatment available other than surgery?

I'm really worried about my wife. She's been dealing with this condition, HS, for over two years now. We thought surgery might help; she had it done three months ago on her armpits and groin area. But sadly, the problem's come back, and she's still in a lot of pain. I understand it's a chronic condition, but it's really affecting her quality of life, and even simple daily tasks are a struggle. I'm desperate to find a doctor who's experienced with these cases and can help with her recovery and pain management. Do you know anyone who specializes in this?

Ive usually been lucky with my skin and hardly ever get pimples, but when I do, they disappear in about 4-5 days. However, about 10 days ago, I got a pimple with pus on my right cheek, and its only gotten bigger and worse over time. I tried all sorts of things like ice, aloe vera, and even benzoyl gel, but nothing worked. I used tretinoin for a night, then tried putting white toothpaste on it for an hour and a half last night. It stung, so I thought it was working, but this morning I woke up with a smaller pimple and a huge dark brown spot that looks like a burn. Im worried itll scar because I work in entertainment and really want it gone asap. Im using aloe vera now to calm it down, but Im not sure what else I should do. Should I try a different cream or an ointment to help with the burn? Would love some advice!
