Is It Normal To Have Swelling After Removing Cyst From Back Of Head?
I got a cyst removed from back of my head a week ago...Doctor said it was deeper then he thought and stuck on scalp but he got it all out but now I have swelling around area and I'm hoping it ok and is there a chance cyst can grow back ? And if so that fast?

Hello
It seems from the history that you have probably underwent surgery to remove a cyst.
It is normal to have inflammatory swelling following surgical procedure. Hence I advice you to wait till the inflammatory swelling decrease before thinking on terms of recurrence of the cyst.
Thank you
