A member asked:
Small hard lump on head in scalp...feels hard as bone doesn't hurt and is not red what could this be?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Some ideas: This may be an osteoma, a little hematoma / bruise bump that healed with a lot of calcification, or something else. If it's not growing, not painful, and not ulcerating, leave it alone; show your physician next visit.
