Answers:
If it could still clear up (or empties out if it's one of the surface kind filled with puss!.!.!.yuck) it wouldn't need surgery!. If it's continuing to grow over time and shows no improvement it may need to be drained or removed by a doctor!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

There really is no rhyme or reason as to why people develop cysts!. Alternatives to having them removed are popping them and ignoring them!. I doubt popping it will be an option for you because that involves a large force being applied to the cyst!. Large forces are generally discouraged from being applied to the head!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
