Hi Ladies,
If you have a cyst that is in a hair follicle which drains and never
goes away
ask the surgeon to do a "PINHOLE surgery which drains the cyst and also
removes the sack of the follicle. This is done through a hole about 1/8
of an inch or less and rarely even needs a stitch.
To help prevent these cysts, avoid plucking hair or cutting too short
with
with the razor. (It is a difficult order especially for a PCOSer.)
