I have a weird little bump on my scalp that almost looks like a wart. Does anyone have any idea what this might be? I like to shave my head with clippers and it looks odd having this pea-sized little blemish.
Any suggestions?
Answer:It could be a congenital cyst. My grandma, my mother, and I had/have them on our scalps. They are non cancerous, but you should get it removed. It will eventually grow large enough, that if youdon't get it removed, it will burst and be really gross.
I've had 2 removed before age 40. I have another growing. It's very attractive... not. Shave your head before you see the dermatologist, so they don't have to take time to trim your hair.
it's possible that it is a wart, or it could be what physicians call a "skin tag". I'm sure if you go to your health care provider s/he can remove it for you.
it could be a skin tag.or maybe a wart but if you go to a doctor they can figure it out and remove it. =]
