What Is A Lump On My Scalp?
I have been stressed for a bit now, and lately I have noticed things on my head and scalp, in the upper front region that look, and feel like zits, but once popped, only give a clear fluid. One in particular, was just a lump, that now is a yellowish scab. What is this, and how can I heal it.

Hi,
Thanks for writing to HCM.
Looks like the cyst on your scalp has got infected.
First you need to show it to a surgeon for a proper clinical examination... depending on that he may either excise it or do cleaning and dressing... and if he thinks it is infected, he may start you on antibiotics...
