Having pilar cysts removed from my scalp. what can i do to make sure i dont develop new ones? if im gonna get new ones than the removal is pointless

Pilar/scalp/wen: Pilar cysts are common, and if removed in total and the whole capsule, they should not return, BUT can return in other areas (not the same ones). Best wishes.
