What causes painful red spots on the scalp?
Patient: my 6 year old is complaining of pain from a small red spot on her scalp. It almost looks like a mole. she has not had any injury, and the spot has been painful for a few weeks. it looks to be nearly in the same spot that she had a strawberry hemangioma as a baby. is it possible for that to come back? Doctor: Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.  hemangiomas are not known to recur. This is unusual. I suggest either you upload an image here for me to see and guide you or consult your dermatologist please. Skin conditions are best diagnosed only after seeing directly. I suggest you to upload photographs of the same on this website, so that I can guide you scientifically. Please revert back to me with images so that I can guide you better.   Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
