Yeah, hair has not grown on it for months.

A painless huge bump in your scalp could be a Sebaceous Cyst or a Dermoid Cyst, depending on the location and the content. Both these conditions are curable and therefore please contact your own doctor.

If it's a scar, then likely no hair will grow on it. Is it bald? If not, it could very well be a mole. People think moles are brown and stand out, but they can be invisible and just be irregularly shaped bumps under the skin. If it changes shape or size, go to the doc just to be on the safe side. But don't worry about it -- if it's been there for 2 yrs and nothing's happened, it's probably just fine.

Have your Dr. check it out. Your mom could possibly be right....if it was an open wound at one time, it quite possible could be a keloid. But for a sure fire answer.....see your Dr.

i have no idea what it is.. but to me it sounds like a type of cancer or something of that nature. I would get it cheacked out by a doctor.

Laymen can not answer your question. See a physician.
