What Does A Pink Bump On The Scalp Indicate?

Hi, I have had a pinkish bump on my scalp for a couple of years now. It wasn t really bothering me except for the fact that I often pick at it and now it seems to be getting slightly larger. I ve also had a couple of pictures taken of that spot and I can see that small little hairs grow on that bump with perifollicular scaling. The hair never actually grows, it s been the same length since the bump occurred. The spot doesn t itch either, so I m not sure what it could be. Does any one have any ideas?

Hi,

You have to get it microscopically examined dear by some dermatologist. That is the only method to know what the pathology is.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
