Head cysts: Usually these are sabaceous cysts and they need to be removed surgically. See your doctor to see about this. They usually can do this in the office.

Cysts on the head: It sounds like you may have epidermal inclusion or sebaceous cysts. These generally are the result of a trapped hair follicle that builds up skin debris. They are pretty easy to remove with local anesthesia. I would see an ent, facial plastic, or dermatologic surgeon to discuss your options.

Trichilemmal: Often trichilemmal cysts in scalp. Easily removed by any doc with basic surgical skills and experience.
