Suggest Treatment For Blood Filled Blisters On Scalp

default
Posted on Mon, 8 Feb 2016
Question: I have a small lump on my scalp that is filled with blood. I didn't even notice it exsisted until one day a large amount of blood was streaming down my neck. I felt no pain and could not even find the source until a scab formed. However, the scab is filled with blood and getting larger. What could this be?

Brief Answer:
Could be pyogenic granuloma: benign vascular tumor

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for being at healthcaremagic
I have gone through your complaints and according to me you are having pyogenic granuloma.
It is a benign vascular tumour which is composed of proliferation of small blood vessels and is usually associated with recurrent bleeding. It is seen to occur after recent injury in few individuals though in majority of the cases no injury can be recollected.
I would recommend you to consult a dermatologist and get it removed as it doesn't show any response to topical treatments.
I hope to have answered your query and would be happy to clarify any further doubts.
Regards
Dr Asmeet
