What Causes Small Knot With White Heads On Forehead After Tying A Scarf?
I tied a scarf around my head, and made a knot in the front. Throughout the night, the knot rubbed against the center of my forehead (just outside my hairline). I woke up the next morning with a small knot on my forehead where the scarf s knot had been. The know on my forehead was the size of a dime. The day after that what appeared to be three whiteheads appeared on the knot. Last time I had a ringworm it looked the same way, could this be the same thing? Or was this caused by the scarf?

HI
This doesn't quite sound like ringworm but more like a sebaceous cyst. Nothing too serious but the only way to get rid of it is to have it surgically removed under local anesthesia
