What Causes A Bump With Redness Around On The Scalp?
My daughter who is a teenager informed me she had a bump or a bite on her scalp and asked me to check it. When I did it looks like a 2 circle of redness. I thought it was a bite but started noticing it was trailing into a circle. What could it be?

Hello,
it is possible to be a bite. I suggest you to apply ice pack, use Benadryl for some days and a topical ointment with corticosteroids and antibiotics. Don't worry she will be better in few days.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
