Worried About Lump On Head
Posted: 09-23-07 22:00pm

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!
