Dermoid cyst
My baby has had a little bump on his forehead for a while and recently just found out it is a dermoid cyst. It's not causing him any problems or anything but the doctor said it will continue to grow and will never go away. If we want to get it removed it wouldn't be an NHS procedure and we would need to go private. Just wondering if anyone else has any experience with this? Apparently an ideal time for it to be removed would be when hes about 1yo. I'm reluctant to have it removed if its not bothering him but also the thought of it growing bigger and affecting him when he's older makes me feel upset x
My boy is 7mths and has a cyst on the back of his neck. No idea which type. Doctor just said to leave it unless it gets bigger. I've had cysts myself and removed them and personally i'd rather remove his as soon as he's old enough as there'll be less scarring and less possibility of it turning into anything. If you leave it to grow then it will be a bigger scar. I also think their skin will heal better the younger they are. I don't understand why they're saying you'd need to go private. I bet if you go back and just say its grown, they'll remove it. They're probably classing it as cosmetic atm.
