A member asked:
I have had a cyst on my scalp at the back of my head for over 2 years. is this normal? will it eventually go away on its own?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Cyst: Yes cysts can stay for a long time. Just make sure it has been examined by a physician and that it is not growing or hurting. Some cysts resolve on their own but difficult to say for sure if it will and when it would happen.
