Question 1

i have a hard lump on my face and it seems to be clogged pores making thing hard lump. how can i treat it?

Accepted Answer

Infected?: Sometimes these are just a clogged pore, but if it is enlarging, red, or painful, it may be infected.  Try warm compresses to the area to see if it will open.  If it continues, see a doctor as you may need antibiotics.  Do not squeeze it, as this can rupture it under the skin. Best of health to you!

Question 2

Impossible to say: It is impossible to even guess without being able to examine the area first hand. You need to discuss the issue with the doctor who ordered the xray. You can always get a second opinion.

Accepted Answer

may be normal: If it is in the center of head just above the neck it could be normal but prominent bone called posterior occipital protuberance. If it seems to be growing or not in the mid line or moves then consult your pcp.

Question 8

i have a hard lump on right side of the back of my head it's more prominent when i have neck and head pain otherwise it doesn't hurt. what is it?

Accepted Answer

Lipoma : Most likely lipoma but needs picture to comment . So I do not have enough information to diagnose at this time .

Question 9

i hit my head over 2 weeks ago. and now i have a hard lump exactly where i hit it. i have been getting bad headaches since but the lump just appeared?

Accepted Answer

See your Doctor: Hard to say for sure. You need to have a physical examination of the problem at the very least. Possibly you weren't aware of the "bump", there could be delayed bleeding. Headaches are common after head trauma. There are meds which can reduce the intensity and frequency of those headaches-ask your doctor. Avoid repeated analgesics like ibu or aspirin. Get it checked out.

Question 10

i have a hard lump behind ear on head. please answer?

Accepted Answer

Lipoma: Lipomas, a fatty tumor are common in this location as well as a few other tumors.  Has the lump been present for some time or rapidly developing recently?  If rapid, get an evaluation by an ENT specialist fairly soon.  If it has been there for some time, you can probably ignore it if it does not bother you and is not changing.
