Cyst on head, just where hairs start
Hello
There's a cyst like structure (very small, size of small finger's nail) on my head where the hair starts. It's been like this since last few years and it seems like it grows a bit with frequent touches.
Intensive touching leads to a bit of pain.
What is this cyst? Is this dangerous or not? What treatment to go for?
Thankyou
