Cysts (scalp and body)
Cysts (epidermoid cysts or trichillemal cysts) are skin-colored, can vary in size and have a diameter of up to about 5 cm.
Description
There is often an enlarged skin pore above it. They can develop anywhere on the body, but are most common on the head, back and neck. They are usually hard and can be easily moved under the skin. They contain a cheesy, foul-smelling substance consisting of skin secretions. Epidermal cysts are not painful as long as they do not burst under the skin and become inflamed or infected.
In the case of recurring inflammation or in places that are aesthetically or functionally unpleasant, these can be removed without any problems.
