Hi, I have a hard lump near the base of my skull on the left side which does not move or hurt at all. When I lean my head on a surface on that side of my head it feels like a short tender pain, but nothing long lasting. I'm just worried about the lump and want to put my mind at rest/get advice. 
 

thanks,

amelia

  • Hello Amelia and thanks for posting

    Thank you for your enquiry. I'm sorry you are worried about your health.

    I'm afraid we are unable to diagnose or tell anyone if anything is the matter. Lumps can have straightforward medical explanations. But only a doctor can make a medical assessment so the best thing to do is to make an appointment to see your GP to get checked out just to be on the safe side.

    Because of the current pandemic, it’s more likely you will be offered a telephone appointment initially with your doctor. After the consultation, if they feel they need to see you, they can offer you a face to face appointment.

    I hope you know more about your situation soon.

    Kind regards,

    Celene

  • Thank you for the advice, I will be making an appointment shortly. :)
