Have Recurring Cyst More Frequently Through Out The Life?

I m Michael age 57 with recurring cyst pretty much my entire adult life. I lot of them do get aborbed but, I ve had at least 5 to 8 of them in and around the facial area over these last 35 years. Below the ear and outside the eyebrow are where they generally occur and are sometimes not absorbed. I am otherwise healthy and I m reaching out because I ve used plastic surgeons, regular surgeons and dermatologist. I m leaning to the pastic surgeon thinking he or she would be that much more delicate. By they way, I have very little scaring over the years - I ve been lucky and I get one maybe every five to seven years or so - it could be more years! Thoughts? Thanks

Hi,

It seems that you may be having multiple epithelioid cysts on face. You consulted many doctors. And have taken treatment and operated with good result ..right?
But, you are worrying for new cysts formation. I assure you about their benign status, so be calm. And if the cysts become large,then go for surgery. If there is infection, take antibiotics for short duration. If they are small, keep them untreated. I hope you got my answer.

Thanks.
