General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi, read your history of a squishy bump on head which was imprinted on pressure and went away in a few days. Now noticed a bald spot.
This history is classical of a sebaceous cyst. This is the only lump that gives baldness and the increase and reduction in size indicated mild infection which got settled.
I would do a clinical evaluation and if has a central punctum, a black-spot attached to the skin, will go for excision of the whole cyst after the infection is settled so that there may not be any recurrence and you will be cured.
