A member asked:
I have a round hard bony knot on my forehead for the past 8yrs.just wondering what it could be.it is not painful and feels attached to skull.

Osteoma: It is not unusual to have a frontal sinus osteoma which is a benign bony growth. This will cause a palpable hard irregularity in the forehead region. This is generally of no consequence. However, you should see an ENT doctor for evaluation and possibly imaging studies to further assess this.
