Is brain tumor soft or hard on your head?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Not on the head: Brain tumors are usually soft and are not rock hard although some are more rubber like than others. However, they are all inside the skull and you cannot feel them from the outside.

Not on your head: Brain tumors are not on your head, but inside your head. They can be hard or soft. Anything palpable on your head is not a brain tumor. Swelling in your scalp may be an infection, lymph node, fatty tumor etc, have your doctor evaluate this.
