Lump On Scalp, Blood Comes Out After Squeezing. Solution?
I have a lump on my scalp in my hair that has been there for a while (more than I year). It has recently become larger. I squeezed it and blood came out of it. I kept squeezing until there seemed to be nothing left. It became flat, but now it seems to be filling up again. Is this something I should be concerned about?

Hello,
Thanks for the query.
You might have developed furuncles.
These are deep bacterial infections.
Treatment is with antibiotics but the choice of antibiotics should be based on culture and sensitivity tests.
Please meet a dermatologist for exact diagnosis.
Let me know if you have any other doubt.
