What Causes Soreness Around Cyst On Head?
i have a cyst on my head that I had checked out, and the dermatologit said it wasn t harmful..... lately it has been feeling a little sore. Today looked at it and it seemed to have a little scab on it with pus coming out. What should I do? Is this normal? The doctor said if she removed it it would leave a bald spot on my head

Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The soreness and the pus discharge from the cyst can be because of the secondary infection. Nothing to be panic, consult a general surgeon and get it surgically removed. Mean while you can take a course of antibiotics like amoxicillin and metronidazole(if you are not allergic).
I hope I have answered your query, take care.
