What Causes A Bump With Dark Red Marks Around The Scalp?
My daughter went to take a nap and said her head hurt. Upon inspection she has a good size bump the size of a quarter. It doesn t hurt unless it gets touched. She didn t fall or hit her head. There is no redness...only a few dark red marks around the hair root.

Hi,
It can be a sebaceous cyst. which is a common swelling on the scalp. Go to a general surgeon and get her examined.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
