Can hair grow over a cyst on the scalp? my 8 month old baby has raised bump on scalp that is hard to see because of hair. i'm not sure if it's just a skin irritation or a small cyst?

Hair can grow over a cyst. It is not feasible to provide an opinion without examining the child. It does not seem to be an urgent issue and you could address it with the pediatrician at the next visit. Make sure to get all the vaccinations for the child.
