Hi, I found a 1cm lump on my scalp a couple of months ago, with a scaly red patch of skin on top. After sending pictures to my GP they said I needed to be seen promptly. I saw the nurse practitioner who didn't perform an examination and actually look at the area, he just reached his arm out and felt it for a second, and said "yep thats under the skin". I was a bit stressed at the time so didn't mention the patch of skin that I'd sent the pictures of. He referred me for a routine ultrasound, and I am still waiting 6 weeks later (about 2 months since I noticed the lump) for my ultrasound appointment. I'm just wondering if anyone else has had a similar situation. I know it could just be a cyst but the appointment with the nurse didn't give me much reassurance as it wasn't examined.
