Hard to tell.: This is one of those problems where a visit to your doctor is necessary to figure out what's going on. Only after a thorough evaluation, including examination and possibly labs and other tests, can your doctor correctly diagnose you and treat you effectively.

Pilar cyst: These are most likely scalp cysts. Especially if they are mobile and not attached to the underlying skull. They can be removed usually as a local procedure in the office.
