How to tell if lump on forehead is blood clot or cyst?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Blood clots do not: Normally form on forehead, so more likely a cyst if those are the only two options to decide from. Blood clots usually occur in vascular and would not present as a lump on the forehead, may look like a bruise, where a cyst will present more like a raised bump. Hope that helps!
