I have a hard (boney) lump on my forehead between my eyebrow and hairline. it is painless and about 3cmx1.5cm. x ray showed it's not exotosis but abnormal, is it still likely to be benign? i'm really worried

Likely Skin Lesion: Possible a sebaceous cyst (blocked sebaceous gland that grow in size and form a cyst) or Fibroma (collections of fibres under the skin) might give such a hardish lump. If you are concerned about it get it checked by your doctor.
