See your doctor.: Your family doctor should be able to decide whether you should see a neurosurgeon or a dermatologist.

Dermatologist: If the lump you are seeing feels superficial and just under the skin then a dermatologist is likely the best option to evaluate. If it is a cyst, they are able to perform the surgical procedure to remove it. Another option would be a plastic or general surgeon.
