Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXX. This lump could be a Dermoid cyst as they are common in the scalp. But I would suggest you let your Doctor examine it to know what it is. It will also be important to know whether it is extending inside the bone or not and therefore XRay or CT or both. So please consult your Doctor. Do let me know if there are any clarifications. If not please rate this answer. Take care.
