Help Please - Bump On Head Posted: 07-02-04 12:43pm
Basically a few weeks ago I found a bump
on my forehead, it's visable but only when
you catch it in the right light. It's not
a big lump, people only notice it if I
point it out or ask them to feel it.
There's no pain when I touch it, but ever
since I discovered it i've started getting
slight head pain nearly all the time.
However, before I found it, I don't recall
any pains, so could this possible be
psychological? I worry about it none
stop, it's all I think about and I keep
touching it. I've managed to get an
appointment to see the doc but it's not
until tuesday.
The only pains i've had are the head
pains, which like I said, occured after I
discovered it. I've not felt dizzy, had a
migraine type headache, suffered memory
loss or been unable to recall the names of
objects, there's been no numbness that I
can remember. Sometimes I get ringing in
my ears, but this is only every so often
and it only lasts 30 seconds at the very
most and I don't remember having it in the
past 2 weeks.
This morning I woke up and I felt amazing,
I wondered if seeing the doc was silly
because it only seemed to be a small bump.
As the day goes on, however, I start to
become more worried about it, and that's
seemingly when the pain comes back.
Any help with this could be greatly
appreciated, thanks.

I went to the doctor today, he believes
that it's just tissue, as it's seems
between the skull and the skin. He also
took my blood pressure and said that
everything was in order.
