Question 1

do relaxers cause lumps in the head?

Accepted Answer

Not usually: Our bodies always have things that grow and change. Skin, fat, muscle, lymph nodes,  bones, can change shape, get larger, more prominent due to many factors. The vast majority are not cancer but simply unusual growths like fatty tumors, cysts, skin tags, moles, etc.  Most cause no symptoms and can be watched.  If they cause symptoms or change colors, bleed, bruise or hurt, then see your doctor.

Question 2

what can cause little lumps in your head?

Accepted Answer

Many possibilities: Some causes of “lumps” may include: bony overgrowths, soft tissue masses, ganglions, fibromas, cysts, and infection.  Have it evaluated by a professional to get the right diagnosis.

Question 3

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 4

what could cause lumps that grow below the head of penis?

Accepted Answer

Pearly papules?: One man in about one hundred is the lucky owner of "pearly penile papules" along the corona (the back part of the glans). They are a normal variant and might be considered something of a plus. If for some reason you don't like them, they can be removed using a laser. Check the online photos and see if this matches what you have.

Question 5

what causes lumps on middle fore head and on the back of head which causes your head to hurt?

Accepted Answer

See derm: See a dermatologist for possible biopsy. You may have to have special xrays done.

Question 6

my 11month old has itchy sores(rush) on his head mostly at the back.also has about 3 swellings at back & each of them has a number of small lumps(nodes).what could be the cause?

Accepted Answer

Rule out infection: Impetigo may be one cause, eczema and ring worm are other causes to consider. Please see your pediatrician or upload a photo during a virtual consultation. Monitor temperature, provide fluids, and apply a thin layer of antibacterial ointment twice daily to the areas until evaluated. Watch the scalp with a gentle antibacterial soap, avoid harsh chemicals.

Question 7

it has to do with migraines. can or do they cause lumps on your skull, i've notice since my migraines started over the years the middle of my head has?

Accepted Answer

Lumps: I dont believe migraines will cause lumps on your skull. Visit a dermatologist to determine if those lumps are sebaceous cysts.

Question 8

what causes the small painless lumps on my penis head right by the edge? and when erect it is painful to pull the foreskin but when flaccid i can .

Accepted Answer

Balanitis: This could be an skin infection, dermatologic condition or based on your previous history even an std

start by an exam with your pcp or urologist to help figure out the cause 
tough to tell without seeing these lesions.

Question 9

i have sore hard lumps around the crown and back of my head.  they eventually scab over and sometimes go away while others appear. what causes this?

Accepted Answer

Several options: Without examining you i cannot give you a 100% answer.  However, some thoughts are acne keloidalis (sometimes seen with really short haircuts), could also be a form of scalp cellulitis. I would suggest you see a dermatologist who can help clarify the answer and best recommend treatment.

Question 10

my mom has lumps on head that come and go and cause pain - 2 doctors told her she needs surgery but they can come back - are these considered noncance?

Accepted Answer

Unlikely : These are most likely pilar cysts that will probably not come back after removal and are not cancerous. If they do come back, its because a small bit was left inside - a sometimes unavoidable event. Hope this helps!
