Will Hair Grow At The Pilar Cyst Site After Its Removal?

I have a pilar cyst now for about 6 years. It appeared my sophomore year of college. Over the years it has grown and now my hair is thinning in the area surrounding the cyst. My great grandmother, her sister and mom had cysts and suffered from the resulting baldness. If I have it removed, will my hair grow back?

HI
Well come to HCM
Because of the removing of cyst if follicular damage done then hair grow may be affected and this is very common condition and in my opinion this can be only confirmed by clinical examination hope this information helps.
