Cysts can sometimes appear to "duplicate" in the sense that new cysts can form in the same area or nearby over time. This could happen for several reasons, including:
-
Genetic predisposition: Some individuals are more prone to developing cysts due to hereditary factors.
-
Skin conditions: Certain skin conditions can lead to the formation of multiple cysts.
-
Blocked sebaceous glands: Sebaceous cysts can develop when the sebaceous glands become blocked, which might lead to more forming over time if the cause of the blockage persists.
-
Infections or inflammatory processes: In some cases, underlying inflammatory or infectious processes can lead to the development of multiple cysts.
If you notice an increase in the number or size of cysts on your neck or have any other concerns, it's best to consult with a healthcare professional or dermatologist. They can provide a thorough evaluation, determine the cause, and suggest appropriate treatment options if necessary.
