I read something about dermoid cyst in some magazine. If I understood well, it isn’t so much dangerous. Still, I would not like to have one. Now I want to know Can young children have dermoid cyst? I have daughter six years old and I don’t know do I need to worry about it.

Unfortunately, the answer on your question is YES. A dermoid cyst is a congenital defect, which is present from birth, and occurs during embryonic development when the skin layers do not properly grow together. The dermoid cysts are usually found on the head or neck, and sometimes on the face.
