It may be a cyst: in the skin of your scalp. If you have a mass there got checked out by your primary doctor, it could be as simple as a skin cyst that can be quickly removed.

Lump: It's time to see your doctor to find out what the issue is and help control things. You might also need a referral to a specialist.
