I am 25 year old female and I have this
bump about the size of pencil eraser on my
scalp under my hair. It is hard and not
discolored or sore at all. What could it
be?

The thing on your scalp is probably benign
and harmless, but it's still a good idea
to go to a dermatologist and have him/her
look at it and possibly biopsy it. Skin
cancer is curable if detected early. I
have had melanoma in-situ and luckily
caught it early and had it removed. That
was 3 years ago and I am cancer free.
Most growths on skin are not cancer, so
just go rule out the possibility that it's
not and that will put your mind at ease.
Good luck!

Yeah im just wondering if you ever found
out what the bump was on your scalp?.
I'm a 28 y/o female who was in the sun
alot when I was a kid with pale skin and
light hair and lots of freckles, and
about 8 months ago I noticed I had a
small bump like knot like the size of a
pencil eraser almost in the center of my
scalp that I have never noticed before.
At first I thought it was a pimple or
mosquito bite or something lol, so as
anyone else would of probably done I poked
it, it just bled. Its not disclored its
just really hard and hurts to touch
sometimes. If anyone has any ideas please
respond.
Thank you

My advice would definitely be the same for
you. I was diagnosed with my melanoma at
age 28. That is not meant to scare you
but melanoma is on the rise among our age
group. Like I said to the first post,
most likely it's benign, but get it
checked out. Like me, you are fair
skinned and have light colored hair, so
that puts us at more of a risk. Set up
an appointment with a dermatologist and
let he/she take a look at it. Good luck
:wink:

Bump On Head

Last week I woke up with a spot on my head
that was sore/tender. As I rubbed it I
noticed there was a bump on that spot. I
went to the doctor and she gave me some
antibiotics to take for 10 days. I've
taken them for a couple of days but it is
still there. The soreness however is
gone. I was wondering if any if you have
experienced this before.

Bump On Scalp

I'm a 35 year old male. I was reading the
questions about having a bump on the
scalp. I also noticed a Bump on my head
six weeks ago while shaving my head. It's
right on top of my head (middle of my
scalp) and I started to get worried. It
does'nt hurt but it's the size of a very
large pimple, but it's not because it
has'nt popped like on, its just there.
When I touch it it feels hard and tight.
Anyone has any feedback?

So I have had a bumb the size of a pencil
eraser for two years. It has been hard and
unpainful by the touch up until about 6
months ago... it would become soft,
bigger, and extremely painful for about a
week then go back to normal again... well
its hurting again and I need some advise
on what to do????

Bump On My Head

I am a 31 year old female who discovered a
small bump on my upper left side on my
head under my hair, its not round though
more shaped like a almond. I thought at
first it was a blemish but it doesn't have
a head, doesn't hurt, and is hard and
tight. I too have spent eons in the sun
however I have medium skin tone and dark
hair (not that it makes me less vulnerable
to cancer). Is this something to worry
about? I do have a doc appt in 3 weeks to
get a referral to see a dermatologist so I
can ask them, just looking for some
insight in addition to the previous posts.
Thanks!

I'm 15, female.
I've had this bump for years, but I know
it hasn't been there since birth. I'm not
sure what color it is. I had my mom look
at it, she says its dark red, but its been
bleeding lately, and its been really sore.
Its a little bit smaller than a pencil
eraser.
I hope it is just a wart. :\
