What Causes Fluid Filled Bump On The Scalp?
my husband has a small clear growth in his hair that has grown to size of a dime within 2 weeks. It is not soft nor hard but does seem to have a small amount of fluid. I do not see an ingrown area, nor any sign of a bite or infected tip on the growth. What could this possibly be?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
It could be a small abscess or fluid filled blister. air is better to get it drained to avoid secondary infection and unwanted complications. Consult a GP and drain the fluid. Start a short course of antibiotics for five days also. Nothing much to worry and it will settle once drained.
