Whom Can I Consult For Small Bump On My Temple Region ?
I am 65 years old, female, it makes some days i realised i ve got something like a small button on my scalp, near the temple, under the hair . It s something coloured pink/brown, it s not aching, but it worries me. Last year i had a sort of wart on the other side of my scalp and the dermatolog burned it off. What do you think it could be this new one? ( it s not the same as last year, which was smaller and not so round, as a small button) Thanks for your answer Luis

Looks like u have a small abscess/folliculitis. Most of them resolve and rarely need treatment, if it troubling u too much I suggest u meet a dermatologist
