What Could Cause A Mole Like Formation On Scalp Area?
Yes i have these half inch mole type things that are on my head. Sometimes they get a little bigger and sometimes they even fall off.

Hello,
They could be either warts or seborrheic keratosis. I request you to kindly upload a few images of the affected. You may visit a doctor in your vicinity and get one of those biopsies for a confirmatory diagnosis.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Kakkar S., Dermatologist
