How Can Sebaceous Cysts And Alopecia Be Treated?
I have both sebaceous cysts and alopecia in my scalp, neck and face--my doctors are puzzled on what it is and how to treat it efficacious ly. I ve been prescribed topical creams, pills and steroids (--STEROIDS--May 11, 2017 I had eyes examined--NOW I have developed GLAUCOMA??? STEROIDS???) Lab work set for June 2, 2017 and appointment set for June 5, 2017 to get my second HEP C shot. I am a 69 year old male US. Air Force Veteran being treated at a military medical center. WHAT do I need to say to my Primary Doctor to re-evaluate the above..I have to ACT in MY BEST INTEREST. PLEASE. I NEED YOUR INPUT (medical terminology) and HELP.Thanks

Hi,
Consult a surgeon for curing sebaceous cysts because sebaceous cysts have no cure except surgery.
Alopecia if not responding to conventional medications and care, I quote for the hair transplant as best cure.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
