[|Human|] I have a red bump on the back of my head that is about the size of a big pea. It is somewhat hard and kind-of sensitive to the touch. Ive had it about 2 months. At first I thought it was a pimple and i popped it, but it just would not go away, now its a red pea sized lump. Have any idea what this may be and how I can get rid of it?
