Red bump on scalp
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.
