Red stuff on the scalp

A few weeks ago, I had a acne-like thing on my head. It was very itchy. When I took a bath, I pierced and the blood flow continued. It took about 20 minutes to stop bleeding.Now this thing is getting bigger and bigger, what is it? It doesn’t hurt, but it itches occasionally.
