I have lumps on my forehead, and lately im getting headaches a lot, is it possible that it could be a brain tumor? my aunt died of one when i was a kid, ive tried telling doctors about it but nothing happened, seeing my doctor friday, i also forget?

Not common: But possible. Many times tumors have a different origin and they spread to other organs, such as brain or skin. There are many other much more common benign conditions that can manifest with headaches and they are usually ruled in or out first. Seeing your doc is the right thing to do in order to start workup for your symptoms.
