Hello,
Thank you for sharing the picture and your concern. I understand your worryâhaving a painful swelling on the scalp that is gradually increasing in size can be quite uncomfortable.
From the image and description, this looks like a sebaceous cyst / epidermoid cyst / or a benign growth on the scalp. Such cysts often arise from blocked sebaceous (oil) glands and can slowly enlarge over time. They may remain painless initially, but as they grow or if they get irritated/inflamed, they can cause pain, redness, or tenderness when touched.
Possible causes:
Blocked oil gland (sebaceous cyst)
Dermoid cyst
Lipoma (fatty swelling, usually softer)
Inflamed cyst due to minor infection
ð¹ Treatment options:
In conventional medicine, such cysts are usually removed by a small surgical procedure if they are painful, infected, or cosmetically concerning.
In homeopathy, we focus on treating the root cause to control the tendency of cyst formation, reduce inflammation, pain, and gradually shrink the swelling. Many patients respond well to individualized remedies that help avoid recurrence and surgery, especially if treated early.
Since your cyst has been increasing in size and is painful, I would strongly advise a proper evaluation. We can plan a personalized homeopathic treatment after a detailed case study to help in reducing pain, inflammation, and preventing further growth.
You can consult me online, and I will guide you step by step with safe and effective treatment.

This appears to be a scalp cyst-like growth, which is usually benign but can cause pain and discomfort. Such growths can be effectively managed with homeopathic medicines, which help in reducing the swelling, pain and tendency for recurrence without the need for surgical removal in many cases. I suggest a proper consultation so that medicines can be selected based on your symptoms and constitution.

A cyst-like growth on the scalp is usually a sebaceous cyst (pilar/epidermoid cyst) – a benign, slow-growing, smooth swelling under the skin of the scalp. It develops due to blockage of sebaceous glands or hair follicles. Sometimes it can be firm, painless, and mobile; if infected, it may become red, tender, and painful with pus formation.
⸻
Common Causes
• Blockage of sebaceous (oil) gland.
• Repeated irritation of scalp or hair follicle.
• Genetic tendency (runs in families).
• Skin conditions (like seborrhea).
⸻
Homoeopathic Approach
Homoeopathy aims to:
• Shrink the cyst naturally and prevent recurrence.
• Improve metabolism and glandular health.
• Treat constitutional tendency for repeated cyst formation.
Next Steps
Consult me on practo.
Health Tips
General Care
• Keep scalp clean; avoid harsh shampoos.
• Do not squeeze or puncture cyst → may cause infection.
• If painful/red, warm compress can help.
