Pilar Cysts:

• Are a sac filled with dead skin cells and can develop anywhere on the scalp, back of the neck and around the edges of the face
• Usually look like a round “lump” under the skin
• May range in diameter from the size of a pea to a tennis ball
• May get gradually larger with time and do not disappear spontaneously
• Are not due to diet
• Are not collections of fat tissue
• Are not due to an “ingrown hair”
• Are often genetic with other people in the family affected with scalp cysts
• Are often multiple with several lesions developing over the course of a lifetime
• If you are not certain whether a cyst is normal or not you should show it to your doctor

[av_toggle title=’Removal’ tags=”]

• The skin around the pilar cyst is injected with a local anesthetic to numb the area
• It is not necessary to shave the scalp during the procedure
• The cyst is opened and then the contents and the wall of the cyst are removed
• Stitches are used to close the opening
• Antibiotic cream is used to cover the wound
• The day after and surgery apply a small amount of antibiotic cream to the wound daily until the stitches are removed
• If you notice redness, pain, swelling or a discharge from your wound, let the doctor know immediately
• The stitches are removed in 7 to 10 days
• The removal of stitches is painless
• You may bathe, shower and do your normal activities
• There is a small chance that the cyst could grow back
• Removal of the cyst may leave a small mark but usually does not produce a circular “bald spot”
• There is no cream at this time that will remove cysts
• There is no way to prevent a cyst from developing
• Removal of benign (non-cancerous) cysts is not covered by OHIP or private health insurance
• A referral from a doctor is necessary to make your first appointment
