I have a raised bump on my scalp with hair growing through it im not sure if its a cyst or cancerous? its a little bit larger than a pencil eraser.

Could be either.: The only way to know for sure is have it examined by your provider. They may need to do a biopsy or other studies or may just need to do a physical exam. It i best to have a professional examine it.
