Any ideas?

Hi, this lump has appeared on my head (just above my ear). It seems to have appeared out of nowhere and is quite sore. I caught it with my hairbrush and it bled quite a bit and, thinking it was a spot, I squeezed it - nothing but more blood! Any ideas? Do I need to be concerned?

Hi. It’s hard to tell from your photo. It’s probably something innocent that you've caught with a brush/comb and so caused it become inflamed but If it persists then ask your GP (primary care physician) to have a look, just to be sure. Stop squeezing it!

What are the white bits in the photo ?

if you are worried or a new lesion arises that is not healing we would always suggest visiting your GP to get it checked out. Thanks Team Skcin
