Hi,
You have filiform growth from scalp skin.. A thin elongated skin growtht. Right?
It seems that it may be skin tag, cutaneous horn or pyogenic granuloma.
It is difficult to pinpoint particular diagnosis without clinically examined.
So, you consult dermatologist for perfect diagnosis.
Electrocautery,cryotherapy or simple excision would be the treatment.
Ok..
I hope you got my answer.
Regards.
