A member asked:
I felt a bony growth on my head, approx. 2 inches above my forehead. it doesn't hurt and it's hard. could this be an osteoma? no other symptoms. i also have mandibular tori. are those two related?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not Related: Tori in the jaw are genetic, seem to be made worse if you clench and grind your teeth a lot, but the bump on the frontal bone suggests something unusual is going on please get it checked so that you know what to do or can relax about it.
