Can cysts on foreheads cause constant headaches, ive had them for over a yr and nothing shows on mri's, seeing a dermo in about 2 wks, can they take the cyst out so i can get rid of the headaches?have a lump on my forehead, wanted a dermo to check it?

A lump on the forehead is likely to be a sebaceous cyst and a dermatologist is appropriate doctor to see. It is not feasible to comment on your concern about a brain tumor, without examining you. Wish you good health!

Headaches caused by external compression (ie perhaps large cysts) are "often constant and more severe at the location" and can "lead to a more severe migrainous headache" if there are underlying migraines. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/20499214/ Working with your GP and possibly a Neurologist/SleepMedicine can help find other ways to help reduce your headache.
