I have this odd patch of psoriasis in the back of my head. Since I can't see it I didn't know how ugly it was. However, I could feel it getting lumpy.

I have a family history of cancer. Strange lumps where they shouldn't be are concerning.

I showed it to one of my dermatologists and they suggested I visit my primary. I jumped the queue and got an appointment to see *someone* yesterday. They're pretty sure it's a pilar cyst which are mostly benign but can become painful if infected.

I'm relieved it's not the big C - but I'm getting blood tests later this month and I'll speak to my other dermatologist next month about it.

Yeah lets have no lumps where lumps aren't meant to be. Hoping the news continues to be good (if a cyst can be 'good'), if you know what I mean.
