Lump in head

Hi, i have tonight just noticed a small hard lump on the back of my head it's to the left of my head in line with the middle of my ear - the lump doesn't move and it feels hard asif it could be bone? I'm certain this has just appeared out of nowhere and it doesn't move, should I get this checked or does it sound something of nothing? 

  • Hello and thanks for your post

    I’m sorry you are worried about a small lump at the back of your head and can understand you wanting to find out more.

    I'm afraid we are unable to diagnose or tell anyone if anything is the matter. Symptoms can often have straightforward medical explanations. But only a doctor can make a medical assessment so we always encourage people to make an appointment to see their GP if their symptoms are persisting. Doctors are trained to assess symptoms and can arrange tests if they feel it’s necessary to try to find out what might be going on. 

    I hope you know more about your situation soon.

    Kind regards,

    Celene

  • Hi,

     

    I have the exact same problem as you, but I also have an inflamed lymph node on the left side of my neck, which made me think the lump on my head could also be an inflamed lymph node. 

     

    I hope your problem resolves or that you get your answers from your GP.
