I have a cyst in the forehead for about 4.5 years. A Plastic surgeon said that, only by surgery and the scar will be larger than the cyst, so not sure I want to do it. The dermatologist said he can remove it with an electric needle. My questions is both for dermatologists and plastic surgeons: Could this cyst be removed without scarring using an electric needle or it is a waste of time? Also doesn't it look too deep to use an electric needle for that? Size of it about 3mm
I have a kind of Cyst/lipoma on my SCALP which my Dermatologist couldn't really diagnose exactly what it is. He suspects its a bit different and we can know more about it only when its removed surgically. he referred me to a general Surgeon, but i read a -ve feedback of that surgeon for 1 of the patient cyst removal in neck. My Dr also gave me an option of Plastic surgeon if i don't want the general surgeon. both have 25+ years of experience. whom should i got to? i have appointment next week.
The cyst is located right where the arrow is pointing and is below the skin near the jaw line. It is not noticeable but if you rub your finger over the spot you can feel it. I don't like knowing its there and want it removed, but I'm afraid of the scar it will leave. An ent told me he can't go through the mouth or drain it because he feels there is nothing to drain. It moves around when touched and is not tender. Is an ent the right surgeon for this and can it be removed without leaving a big scar?

I have a forehead osteoma that I would like removed. I visited a doctor referred by my GP, and the surgeon said he could either cut a 4 to 5 inch incision along my hairline or cut right above the osteoma. He did not mention an endscopic option. The consult only involved palpation with xrays to come. The growth is on the left side of my forehead. Thoughts? Is endoscopic a bad idea? Should I go for a second opinion?
