CYSTS
Cutaneous Cysts are cystic lesions that are filled with cream colored material with pastry consistency called keratin. They tend to have a thin wall and thus rupture is very common. Once it ruptures, it produces a painful inflammatory mass. Cysts can occur anywhere including the scalp, at which point they are known as pilar cyst. Cysts can be removed by a surgical excision before they become infected. Once they become infected, drainage, Kenalog injection or oral antibiotic may be necessary to reduce the inflammation and the size of the lesion.
