How Can A Cyst On The Head Be Treated?
I have a cyst on my head that looks really weird. It has a hard, rough tip to it. I was scheduled to have it removed but earlier i felt something wet on my head and when i touched it there was some blood on my hands from my cyst and now it s just barely hanging to a piece of skin on my scalp. My question is can they just fall off on their own?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
I would explain that these cysts should be removed by surgery and followed by biopsy in order to determine their nature. The fact that it is bleeding could be related to some local irritation. They do not fall on their own. I recommend consulting with a surgeon about this.
