Hi,Good Morning,Thanks for your query to My-HCM Clinic.I studied your query in depth.I understood your concerns.
My opinion on the painless lump appears to be-soft supple-Sebaceous cyst of the Scalp
-Its due to the old clogged sebaceous gland which gradually grows to -this size of 2 inches.
-Scaly feel is due to the sebum cursts on it.
-Treatment -would be-
a-Consult a Surgeon and confirm its diagnosis.
b-Excision Biopsy would reduce your worry totally.
-Hope this would help you to recover from worry-some query.
Wish you a Fast Recovey.Wellcome to HCM again.
