Question 1

i have a small lump in my forehead, it's hard and feels like it's on a nerve because when i press on it and try to move it sometimes, i get a shooting pain through my head. headaches occur sometimes too

Accepted Answer

Have it checked out!: There are plenty of nerves on the face compared to the rest of the body. So anytime there's a lump, bump, acne, scrape, or lesion, it's painful! So, best to have it checked out by your doctor to physically examine it, and see if it needs further investigation or imaging. The forehead has a lot of nerves there, so the bump is just intensifying it more. It may go away on it's own too. See your DR!

Question 2

i have a small hard lump on right side forehead bout an inch below hairline and not visible to the eye it does not move and its tender if touched and you can feel your heartbeat coming through it also skin moves freely over and no recent trauma?

Accepted Answer

Forehead Lump: Tough to say what that may be "over the computer" without examining it.  The fact that you can feel your heart beat would point towards it being vascular in nature, but as stated, you would be best served by seeing a Doctor to get an official evaluation, so a definitive diagnosis can be made and any treatment would follow. Good Luck to you.

Question 3

any idea on why i got a small redness and soreness in my forehead after accidentally hitting it with eyeglasses it's also formed a small lump and its tender is it the skin?and will it cause me the black eye?

Accepted Answer

: No it will not cause a black eye. You have a small hematoma which will get absorbed and go away in a few days. Dont worry.

Question 4

small hard lump under skin on head/skull, what is this?

Accepted Answer

See a dermatologist: It is difficult to make a proper diagnosis since I am not there to see the condition. I recommend seeing a dermatologist so that they can make a proper diagnosis and give you something to get rid of the condition or relieve symptoms.

Question 5

my husband's left side of his head is completely numb an there is a small lump in the lower bottom of his head?

Accepted Answer

See a doctor: I believe your husband should be seen by a medical provider. There are possibilities for having numbness and a lump: herpes zoster, benign or malignant tumor, a granuloma that is compressing a nerve. I would advise to have someone feel this lump, or examine him.

Question 6

i have a small painless lump on the side of my head under the skin- not itchy- who do i see for this and what could this be?

Accepted Answer

: I would start with your physician.  A referral to a dermatologist may be suggested.

Question 7

should i be worry if i have a small lump behind my head, (somewhere near my neck)? it causes me headache and leave me the feeling of uncomfort.

Accepted Answer

Have it seen: By pcp, ; possibly have it removed- could be cyst, or lymph node1 is there any sign of infection on scalp--?

Question 8

i have a small lump under my chin. a small lump at the bottom of my neck. u can see them more clearly when i hold my head back. is this normal?

Accepted Answer

Enlarged lymph node: See your PCP or dentist. Direct clinical examination is warranted and essential to exclude any other causes.

Question 9

i have a small blue black  lump on my head its not painful,but i have headaches since last few days. wanted to know whether it could be a tumour??

Accepted Answer

See doctor: It could be a tick (in US) or other blood sucking insect, a bruise, or a cyst.  Someone should examine it.  Not likely to cause a headache, but could be.

Question 10

small lump on top of head (scalp area). not painful but ive never noticed it before. should i be worried? could this be a sign of something bad?

Accepted Answer

Lump on head: Any lump needs to be examined by your doctor.  Please see him/her.  It may be a sebaceous cyst, which are relatively common, treatable, and not something to worry over.  Peace and good health.
