PIlar cysts are benign growths most commonly seen on the scalp. They are a little different than epidermoid cysts which are more often found on the body. Pilar cysts usually have thicker walls, so they are more easily popped out whole.
As you can see, Dr Rebish and I have different methods for removing cysts, and this is expected since we trained at different dermatology residency programs.
He prefers staples in the scalp because these are less likely to snag hairs which can increase chances for local infection.
Pilar cysts tend to run in the family.. often more than one family member has them, and it's not uncommon to have multiple cysts.

Thank you so much for watching!!
