Question 1

my husband has had severe headache for five days with multiple lumps forming on head and neck.

Accepted Answer

Headaches that last: Headaches can be either transient, minutes to hours, or more chronic, as over the course of days.   Duration of a headache is important in knowing the cause, as is the nature of the headache (pressure, pounding).  Systemic problems related to infection and medication side effects can cause headaches and should be evaluated by a health care provider.  Acute changes require more urgent attention.

Question 2

what causes lumpiness after chin liposuction? i've read some forum comments about people having lumps in their neck after chin liposuction. is that normal? does it go away?

Accepted Answer

There : There may be some lumpiness in the early postoperative phase as collagen is laid into the wound. This should resolve after a few weeks to months. There is also a chance of uneven fat removal because of the inherent structure of the skin and subcutaneous tissues. This does not happen in every patient but there is a risk for this complication.

Question 3

i have multiple lumps/bumps under my jaw and/or upper neck. they don't hurt and move pretty easily. are these lumps normal?

Accepted Answer

Lymph nodes?: Enlargement of the lymph nodes, under the jaw and in the neck can be a simple as a viral infection, but see a head and neck surgeon for a biopsy, since a lymphoma can present this way too. Do not ignore this symptom, since it can be the first sign of more ominous disease.

Question 4

multiple lumps under skin upper arm, collar and chest. if you hold skin tight they are visible. some pea size some a bit bigger. no pain. soft to hard?

Accepted Answer

Need to examine: It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without examining you. Are there other issues, e.g, pigmented skin spots or patches? Family history of similar lesions? One possibility is neurofibfromas. It would be prudent to see your doctor for an evaluation.

Question 5

i just found two pea sized lumps on my head. they are both hard. doesn't hurt. what could it be? i'm worried

Accepted Answer

See your doctor: You sould see your doctor.  This lump needs to be palpated by your doctor and he/she needs to be able to put the rest of your symptoms in perspective.

Question 6

i'm worried about 2 lumps on back of my head,been there for at least 2 month,  one has been growing,  hard underskin lumps, any ideas? thanks

Accepted Answer

Get them seen: Show these to your personal physician at your next visit. They may be postoccipital lymph nodes, epidermoid inclusion cysts, ingrown hairs, or goodness-knows. If they keep growing or ulcerate, get seen earlier.

Question 7

i have to small, very hard lumps on the crown of my head, slightly larger than pea sized. they don't move and they're not painful. i'm a 29 year old f?

Accepted Answer

Well : Generally speaking lumps on the scalp that are not painful can be inflamed or enlarged lymph node a cyst or fatty tumor lipoma usually these are benign. Rarely  they could be a cancer. See a doctor in person for specific diagnosis and treatment

Question 8

does botox cause lumps on top of head?

Accepted Answer

No. : Not even if it is injected there. Botox can cause minute bruises if a small blood vessel is inadvertently hit by the injecting needle, but these "bumps" go away as fast as your body absorbs the bruise! most lumps on the top of the head are pilar cysts.

Question 9

i have small & soft painless lumps in my back side of head?

Accepted Answer

Cysts?: They are probably what we call sebaceous cysts that are common. To be very sure have your physician examine you.

Question 10

anyone have experience with lumps on the head, not phrenology?

Accepted Answer

Old science: Not sure phrenolgy has much credibility in the scientific world. Before modern neuroscience was developed people would assign certain parts of the brain to sections of the scalp.
