Medium Size Bumps On Skull Posted: 07-12-07 00:52am
I have had a medium lump on the left side
of forehead at hairline for 5 years.
Doctor took xrays and said it was bone and
sometime bones just grow like that. It
seemed bigger so I went to another doctor
a year ago and he took and xray and said
it was fine. It is only noticable if you
are looking for it because my hairline
shape hides it. I had my hair colored last
week and the stylist said I had a few
"bumps" on my head. I shrugged it off but
I noticed 2 bumps at the back of my skull
about the size of quarters that were sore
this week. I have now noticed another one
today behind my right ear about the size
of a dime. They are hard, like bone but
are sore and are starting to cause me
headaches. Whether this is because of the
bumps or because of the stress that I am
scared I don't know. I know I need to go
back to the doctor, but I do not have
insurance coverage until August 1st. Could
this be something serious or could it
wait?

How old are you? Is the skin attached to
the lumps? Does the skin appear abnormal
and discolored over the lumps? Do lumps
move freely over the skull?
