When mommy in her Land Rover plows over you while applying her makeup, you will die just as effectively on this as you would on your Kawasaki ninja.
Has anyone dealt with what I assume is an ingrown hair on their head similar to this:
What was the outcome if so. How long did it take to resolve on its own and so on. Getting tired of walking around with what looks like a very visible nipple on the back of my head.

Yeah, that looks like more than an ingrown hair. The infection forms around the hair but the immune system can't shed the irritant so it eventually cordons it off. And that's how you get a weird cyst on your skin that lasts forever. Or the gland itself just gets clogged up and the same thing happens. That's why they're called sebaceous cysts.
You could get a family member to lance it and clean it, but since you're in canukistan I'd just go down to the local clinic and have it done. It'll sting a little bit.
It's exactly what you think it is. You cut it, drain it, and wash it. Dr. Pimple Popper has some videos of doing really really huge nasty ones. I mean getting someone that's done it before is obviously preferable... but it's not a high education type of procedure or anything. You don't want it to get reinfected is the main thing.
For size, not grossness.

Yea I've told the story before but we watched a guy dump his bike at a red light at 0mph and died just from over-torquing it. Don't think any of us will ever ride a bike after that, not even messing around on a closed course.
Kind of like how people who grow up seeing the effects of drug abuse will be adverse to using drugs in college and strongly frown on recreational casual use. its one of those determining things.

Ordering myself. I have a hole in my ceiling from an HVAC pipe break upstairs of my unit.
They had repaired it previously so the cuts where the saw work was done are where the water was able to finally break through, after a few years of the pipe being "fine".
The shit is definitely extremely water-damaged and bubbled with grey coloring on the fringes of the area where the saw cut in previously to repair it. The drainage has a yellow tint from the sediment. It pours a few gallons down on me during a hot summer week.
I run 2 air filters in my bedroom and 1 major circulating industrial grade air-filter in my living room.

As someone who watches DR. Pimple popper that is a cyst.
If you decide to have family lance this as suggested above? please make a YouTube video of it. Then post it here for internet glory.

how far back is it, you seemed to have taken a good enough pic of it, like the top of your head, maybe you can just take a quick razor w/ isoprophyl acohol and let that shit bleed out. make sure to nab the hair that has probably coiled into a snake, that one lone hair is probably 6in long.
That's not my pic. That's just one I grabbed off the net. I don't think the hair is long at all as it would have come from shaving my head only 4 weeks ago or so. I have an appointment with a new doctor in a couple weeks anyway so I'll just get him to look at it.
It seriously does look like a fucking nipple though, including being pinkish red from the inflammation of it. I'm walking around like a woman trying to cover up their chin-tuck.

I have one of those in my earlobe right now, and another on the back of my neck. They are small enough that I don't bother getting them lanced/removed. I did have one on the top of my head lanced a few years back and it has slowly gotten bigger again to the point where I might need to have it lanced again soon.

My research while resolving my own skin problems I learned lumps in ear lobes are a symptom of Seborrheic dermatitis.
Mild cases will have the lumps just come and go without sticking around long. If your lumps are staying and inflaming you may have a bad case of it.

That's exactly what they are. They start off small but I can't help but fidget/fuck with them, they get infected, then swell up and require antibiotics. Then they need to be removed because scar tissue forms from the inflammation.

Fast growing probably less likely to be cancerous lesion like basal cell/squamous cell and more likely to be sebaceous cyst as people have said.

This is good to know. The other family member that has the same genetic disorder I have (Lynch) started having skin cancer issues, so it was a concern for me when this popped up, albeit small as it's pretty obvious that it's just a cyst at this point
