What Causes A Painless Bump On Scalp?

I am 32 and just noticed a bump on the top of my head. Almost painless just about an inch in diameter and it s raised about a quarter inch. It doesn t have a head on it and is fairly firm. I DID have a traveling cyst on my tailbone once and am wondering if this may go away on its own. Cannot afford health insurance yet make too much for assistance so ANY advice or help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance,David

Hi,
From history it seems that there might be having sebaceous cyst or small lipoma on the part.
Nothing to worry, keep watch on it.
If it increases in size or develop pain then it might require excision and removal.
Ok and take care.
