Brief Answer:
Possibility of syringocystadenoma papilliferum; A confirmatory skin Biopsy

Detailed Answer:
Hello. Thank you for writing to us

I have gone through your query and I have also reviewed the Image. I can see a bright pink, shiny patch on scalp. It is hairless.
I suggest a possibility of syringocystadenoma papilliferum. It is a benign adnexal tumor. However I suggest an excisional biopsy for a confirmatory diagnosis which would also be curative.

Regards
