A member asked:
When having surgery to have a dermoid cyst removed where exactly is the incision made? will i have a lot of scaring?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Incision: This is made near the cyst, there should be minimal scarring. The size of the scar sometimes depends on the size of the cyst.
