Yes, scalp cyst: Because the scalp is thick-skin, the cysts there are often smaller and firmer than found elsewhere in the body. They do tend to enlarge overtime, albeit slowly. Often, no pain. They don't go away either. People are often annoyed having those bumps there which can get caught during grooming etc...Otherwise, they don't cause medical problems. Consult your doc if you want them removed.. Good luck..
