A member asked:

I have discovered a huge painless lump on the front of my head under hairline which feels like bone distortion is it cancer?

Needs to be seen: This may be nothing more than an old calcified subgaleal hematoma, but since you have a concern about it being cancer, it calls for an office visit sometime soon. Good luck.

Doubtful: Unlikely, but should probably have your doc look at it to be safe.
