What Causes A Lump On The Back Of The Head?
I have a lump on the back of my head where the hairline is. I thought it was an ingrown hair but I ve taken the scab off repeatedly and it keeps coming back. Has not gotten any smaller either. My family members looked at it and it s a little smaller than a dime. No hair follicle seen. Could it be cancer??

neither it is cancer or any other thing to worry much!
it is possibly a sebaceous cyst and get an FNAC test to solve your concern!
all the best!
