A member asked:
I have a few itchy and sometimes painful soft lumps on scalp, there was only one lump last month, could they be dangerous?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably not: Please see a dermatologist for evaluation. These are probably cysts or an acne like disease called perifolliculitis capitis.
