Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I noticed a lesion on the back of my head. It is flat, mostly red in color, and a bit darker red or brown on the edges. It does not itch, and I do not think that it is related to any allergies. What could this be?
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
Please answer a few questions-
1. Since how long is it been there?
2. Does it hurt when you comb your hair?
3. Has it bled anytime?
Thank you.
Patient's Query
Thank you doctor,
I do not know since when I have it, it might have been there for a long time, but I only started to feel concerned about it a week ago. No, it does not hurt when I comb my hair, it does not even hurt when I press on it. I have never seen it bleeding.
Hello,
Welcome back to icliniq.com.
It could probably be a nevus, meaning a birth lesion. They become apparent after a certain age. They are harmless and can be left alone. You can undergo an evaluation if you develop any symptoms.
Thank you.
