What Causes A Lump On The Back Of The Head?

I have a lump on the back of my head where the hairline is. I thought it was an ingrown hair but I ve taken the scab off repeatedly and it keeps coming back. Has not gotten any smaller either. My family members looked at it and it s a little smaller than a dime. No hair follicle seen. Could it be cancer??
