Whats do i need to do?

About a month ago i had a cyst on my scalp. I messed with it and eventually popped it, but once that happened i got a small bald spot on my scalp where it was. No hair has grown back and i was wondering if anyone knows anything about this and if the hair will eventually grow back?

Hello,
From the symptoms it can be a pilar cyst that has popped up. Pilar cysts manifest as smooth, mobile, asymptomatic swellings, often in the scalp. Overlying hair loss may be noted. The definitive treatment is surgical excision of the cyst. Regarding the hair loss, mostly hair do not grow but hair transplantation can be resorted to.

It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
