Question : Last couple months (I think) I have had two small bumps on back right side of scalp. I usually pick at them a bit every couple days and rip off what I think is a scab. Never thought much of it - maybe a spider bite or something. Now that some time has progressed I am curious what this could be. Attaching a picture.
