Hi and welcome to question doctors.com
A mole of the scalp that may be benign but must be checked for malignancy ..
A year ago is long time for a malignancy to be there but it can not be left like that without investigations.
See a dermatologist ASAP

HI
IT DOESNT SEEM TO BE CANCEROUS.MAY BE A SEBACEOUS CYST. STILL A BIOPSY WILL BE HELPFUL TO DIAGNOSE AND CONFIRM IT. SEE A DERMATOLOGIST

hi,
it seems to be a early cancerous mole as it has everted edges.consult a dermatologist and get it diagnosed. keep a watch on its size and consistency. Rapid increase in size may occur due to malignancy.thanks

hello there
may be a benign tumor. do not worry. if it grows rapidly,then you can think of a malignancy.
