Found a lump

So, I found a lump on the bone at the back of my ear a few months ago. It was underneath the skin and was really itchy, but it was hard. It's still there today btw. 

Today I felt my skull again and there is a lump where the skull starts bending in. Its also right in the center of it. When I press on it, it hurts, and my hair has been falling out a lot recently (idk if that's a symptom, just a noticeable change)

Can anybody give me advice on what to do, because I'm panicking 

I'm 15 btw

  • Hello and thank you for your post.

    Unfortunately, as nurses we are not able to diagnose or guess what the matter is.  

    We would always suggest that people get checked out by their GP (family doctor), if they have any new and/or persistent symptoms. The vast majority of the time, the symptoms are due to straight forward medical conditions that are not anything serious such as cancer. But it is good to be aware of our bodies. 

    A GP can pick apart your various symptoms, as it can be easy to lump them together in our mind sometimes. They are often not related and may be due to different things. Try not to Google, it rarely helps, tends to raise anxiety, and is not meant to replace professional medical advice. So ,try to not over worry about this. 

    I hope that this reply has been helpful and that you are able to get this health concern sorted out. 

    Best wishes
