Lump!!

[marcc64]

I have noticed a slight bump on my forehead, about 2 inches up from my right eyebrow :( it's hard and does not hurt if i put pressure on it, it feels like bone to be honest but it's scaring the s**t out of me :( :(

Does anyone know what this could be? I think i might have had it for a while but I'm not sure.

You know what - my husband has bumps like that all over - right under the skin, and hard....GP says they are fatty cysts and the older you get the more you get. Nothing to be concerned about. So, I bet what you have is somethign like that. Now might I mentioned that my husband could care less about the bumps....but me, oh no, I have to worry about EVERY symptom I have. Why oh why???

It's probably just the way your skull is shaped and you never noticed before! skulls are oddly lumpy things. I wouldn't worry about it - if you really are, take a photo and see if you can see it. leave it a month, take another photo and see if it has changed - bet you a) you can't see it and b) it won't change!

But I thought cysts hurt when you put pressure on them or did i hear wrong?
just feels like bone lol

Not if it's a fatty deposit, it'll just feel hard.

It could be bone. Your skull has a non-uniform shape, it's full of lumps and bumps. I have small hard lumps on my head. All over my head actually. *Prods around*. Wow, I'm glad I have hair over those lol.

It's probably nothing to worry about.

I wouldn't be too worried about it - I bet it either A. Goes away ina few weeks or B. stays exactly the same for the rest of your life (as it might have already been there).

Yeah just seems scary considering my other symptoms and my fear of a tumor :(

I had something similar to this about 4 months ago. I convinced myself it was something cancerous, which was silly because it was in fact a blind boil that went down a couple days after i stopped prodding it.
