A member asked:
Can you get cysts on your head?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: They're quite common, and are usually tricholemmal cysts. They occur on the scalp, and are frequently multiple. They're not harmful, but can be annoying. They can usually be removed pretty easily in a doctor's office.
