What Is The Pimple Like Bump On My Head That Bleeds On Scratching?
I have this pimple like bump on my head and it's been in the exact same spot for a while now. I popped it a few weeks. And it is now a large red bump that scabs over. If I scratch it off, it bleeds profusely. The blood flows constantly, and it takes a while to get it to stop. It won't seem to heal.

Hello!
Thank you for the query.
The bleeding tendency is very characteristic for benign skin lesion like a mole or fibroma. In some cases, scratched mole or irritated mole can turn into malignant lesion. Therefore, I suggest you to consult dermatologist with this issue and consider removal of it.
Hope this will help.
Regards.
