I got 2 cysts surgically removed on the same day 2 months and 20 days ago. The cysts were removed surgically and I had stitches for 2 weeks. Some of the stitches for the first cyst wasn't able to hold the skin together which formed a scab that looks like a circle/ oval bald spot. Light pale skin grew over the scab. The first two pictures are from the first cyst removal and the third picture is from the second cyst. Will my hair grow back or will I have bald spots in those areas?

Thank you for your question.Find a good Board Certified Dermatologist or Plastic Surgeon,The cyst is either irritated, infected or both.You may need antibiotics.Steroids will reduce inflammation.You may end up needing the cyst sac removed - if it persists after 3 - 6 months. Best wishes.

Hello and thank you for your question! You can see a Dermatologist or a Plastic Surgeon for cyst removal and the cost varies based on your insurance and if the provider submits this type of procedure to insurance. The best option is to call around and see what office you feel comfortable with...
As above, that is the diagnosis, see a plastics or urologist for surgical management. They can discuss this condition with you and the various methods to remove. All the best, Dr Davin Lim.
