Good medical morning! This is Watson your medical documentarian with today's topic... pilar cysts! We've covered the them before but this is our deepest look into scalp cysts so let's kick it off right about now!
Pilar cysts are flesh-colored bumps that can develop on the surface of the skin. They’re sometimes called trichilemmal cysts or wens. These are benign cysts, meaning they typically aren’t cancerous. Although pilar cysts aren’t necessarily a cause for concern, you may find them uncomfortable.
You may be able to identify some of the characteristics of pilar cysts on your own, but you should still see your doctor for an official diagnosis. They can make sure the bump isn’t another type of cyst. They’ll also advise you on your next steps.

Pilar cysts grow within the surface of your skin. Although 90 percent of pilar cysts occur on the scalp, they can develop anywhere on the body. Other possible sites include the face and neck. Most people end up having more than one pilar cyst at any given time.
These types of cysts can range in size. Some can be the size of a quarter, and others can grow to the size of a small ball. This process happens gradually over a long period of time.
Pilar cysts are the same color as your skin. They’re also round in shape, sometimes creating a dome-like bump on the surface of your skin. The cysts are usually firm to the touch but smooth in texture. Pilar cysts don’t contain pus, and they shouldn’t be painful to the touch. That's according to Healthline.com
