Suggest Treatment For Lump On Scalp And Hair Loss

I have a lump on my scalp. It is about 1/3 inch high by 2/3 inch long. It has about doubled in size in the last 2 months. It does not hurt and is hard to the touch. I am also slowly losing my hair. I m taking an antibiotic and a topical application 2 or 3 times a week. I am a 74 year od female in pretty good health.

Neurologist, Surgical 's  Response
Hello. I have been through your question and understand your concern.

I think you should schedule a CT scan and after it have a biopsy of the lesion. Only by this way you will know for certain what is it. Remember do not take speciemens without having the CT done first
Hope this helps. Please feel free using MHC again
