Red bump on scalp

2022-04-28 06:54:54
Since last three days, I have seen this tiny blood filled bump in my scalp for the first time in my life. The other day I just mistakenly pricked and it started bleeding alot and had to apply betadine to stop it. Now today after cleaning I see the bump still exists. How to get away with it ? Why did it come even? Can you please help me know this TIA.
