Q: Worried About Lump On Head
asked by: Hannah19 on September 23rd, 2007

I have had a lump on my head for few months now. I cant remember when I noticed it. Its on the top of my skull on the left hand side, just off from the middle. It hasnt grown any bigger and I dont have any other symptoms. It doesnt hurt or anything. It feels like its on my bone and the skin moves freely over it. Im really worried about it.

Hi Hannah!
I guess you may have exostosis, benign (non-cancerous) bone tumour. Actually, that means you have extra bone growth on a bony surface. This growths can be accompanied with pain or can be painless. Do you find it as round or oval hard bony mass?
They can be caused due to a long-term irritation as a result of osteoarthritis, infections, or trauma.
You can visit your doctor and ask for a radiological exam.
Write us back what you'll decide to do!
Best wishes!

Same Problem
Hi Hannah,

I have the exact same problem! I have a small bump on the left hand side of my head, just above the forehead. I've never really noticed it before. It also feels like it is above the bone, but the skin moves easily over it. I'm not too worried as it doesn't hurt. I really would have no idea what it is.

same thing
I have the same thing - about an inch above my forehead/hairline, on the left top of my head. Round, hard, like a small marble, and feels fixed to the bone. Doesn't hurt, although now it makes me wonder whenever I have a brief headache.

I asked my doctor about it six months ago and he didn't see it on my head Xray. He said it could be calcified bone, or even a hard tissue deposit as a result of bumping my head on a pipe in my basement or on my car trunk lid. Anyway, he said to let him know if "it doesn't go away in a few months." I'm checking this site out because it's about time to go back.
