Im 13 years old and recently about 4 months ago i did so many tests blood tests etc not for a brain tumor but you know im sure with the technology they have today they would be able to find the brain tumor anyway. I have long skaters hair and sorta greasy with dandruff. I have a lump on the back of my head its hard and it doesnt move. Nor does it hurt. What could this be a blocked hair thingy?

Well, you passed the brain tumor test as well. While you must realize that diagnostics is ultimately impossible via the internet, the lump described in your posting is likely a Fibroma, a mass of fibrous tissue that is well-circumscribed and non-tender. They are entirely benign. I am assuming that you had this lump examined while at your physician and if not, then the next time you visit, I would suggest that you merely have this confirmed.

You'll be fine.
