hello is anyone here
Brief Answer:
sensitivity to lesion scalp
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for returning to HCM with your question. the area is also sensitivity to touch and getting gradually larger. This could be a small infection under the skin or it could be a sebaceous cyst. These are benign conditions but to optimize your recovery I would recommend that you see your medical provider. you may need to be on antibiotics if it is an infection. If it is a sebaceous cyst there is very little we can do other than remove the cyst but that would leave you with a scar.
