Question 2

i have a small bump on my head should i be worried?

Depends on DX: Depending on the diagnosis, the bump may be benign or need investigating (biopsy/removal). Relatively impossible to tell you over the computer.  Best you get it looked at by a dr.  Best wishes.

Question 3

i got hit with a life jacket they swung it and now i have a small bump on my head?

Accepted Answer

Bump: If it was just a blunt trauma from the blow and no other symptoms were present like change in vision, passing out, major headache, etc, I'd only observe it and would apply an ice pack and if there is some local pain, take Ibuprofen or Tylenol (acetaminophen). Typically, this should be enough to get over it.

Question 4

i have a small hard bump on my head that is really painful , i didn't hit my head it has been there for a while but now it hurts a lot. ?

Accepted Answer

Cystic lesion: Most likely an infected cystic lesion  like a sebaceous cyst or could be an ingrown hair follicle - unlikely to be a malignant lesion but it would be wise to have it examined and probably removed.

Question 5

Accepted Answer

Wen: Usually a sebaceous cyst that may engage and need removal.  Can also be an osteophyte. X-ray will show the difference.

Question 6

Maybe: Traveled out of the country? Does it feel like it's moving? If so, see your doctor, as it might actually be a bot fly. More likely a pimple, abscess, boil, infected hair follicle.

Accepted Answer

Penile lump: It's best to be examined by your physician, dermatologist or urologist to determine the nature of that penile lump. A biopsy may be advised depending upon their findings.

Question 9

i have a small bump on the top of my head that has been there for years now. it looks like a bunch of tiny balls clustered together. what is it?

See Dermatologist: You should see a board certified dermatologist. Let him/her examine you and treat you.

Question 10

i have a small bump on the top of my head & i've had a headache these past 3 days with fever once as well.. it hurts more if i touch the top of my head?

Accepted Answer

Probably not related: Many times a headache and fever can lead to a tender scalp. I usually have people tell me that their hair hurts is that what u mean? If so it should go away when u get better. If u mean that the bump hurts, u should have it looked at as it could b an infected cyst. This can cause head ache as well as fever. Have it looked at, start with ur pcp.
