Flesh coloured raised bump on my scalp
I have a flesh-colored raised bump on my scalp. It is not painful or itchy and doesn’t bleed. I’m not sure how long it has been there. Could this be a common benign growth, and should I get it examined in person?

HI there fellow Bengalurean
Yes it appears to be a benign skin growth to the naked 👁️ based on the pics you have posted.
Getting it examined is your prerogative and is in the normal course of progress of this Consultation.
Begin with an ONLINE Consultation even if from Bangalore as you understand how our traffic 🚦⛔ works here (or doesn't 😉)
& then once you get all the preliminary tests done (if required given you are 44), welcome across to the clinic.
This is easily removed by a number of different ways that we can discuss and go with what suits you best.
🙏
