Scalp cysts

2023-07-10 12:47:10
I have multiple cysts on my scalp..most of them are small but one is 1.5-2cm in size..they are hard in texture but cause no pain or irritation..but i'm worried that it'll grow further and not be hidden under hair anymore..i have had the largest one from last 6-7 years and the others appeared after that..is there any treatment available other than excision? Will i have to have my hair removed if i want to have it removed? How do i know its not cancer? Please help i'm really worried.
