Suggest Treatment For Lump On The Scalp And Ear
I have small hard lumps under my scalp. I have five total in different part of my head. I have one big one right above my right ear and my hair doesn't grow on it, so I have a bald spot. They don't hurt but concern me all the same. What are they? I had them for as long as I can remember.

Hi.
Thanks for your query and most important classical presentation.
The loss of hair over the swellings goes in favor of sebaceous cysts.
Yes, they do not hurt as long as go into a stage of infection.
You have a great choice to keep them and allow them to remain same / grow slowly / undergo infection. Or get them removed.
Better to get them removed.
