Have A Hard Knot On Scalp. Could This Be A Cancer?
Question: I have a hard knot on my scalp. Could this be cancer. Do I need to see a doctor right away. i did not fall nor was i injured
Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
The common reasons for your scalp lesion could be an infection or a benign tumour.
The chance of it being cancer is very less.
You can get it examined by a doctor for confirmation of diagnosis, however, it is not an emergency.
Wishing you good health,
Dr Sudhir Kumar MD DM (Neurology)
