Could lump/spot on head be cancer?

Hi there,

I recently discovered a spot/lump on my head (Monday) funny enough it happened in the same spot where I bashed by head on a cupboard door which was on (Saturday). My guess its just a bump from that. However it is like a red colour, the size of a bean but its quite round. It felt hard and slightly soft in the middle at first but. I have been poking around and now it hurts when pressed/kind of a tiny sore but It was like this at the start. Would you say it could be cancer related or is it me just freaking out? Any help will be apricated.

Thanks

    I'm sorry to hear that you're worried about a lump you've recently found on your head. 

    It's impossible for us to say what this may be but as you've mentioned that it's in exactly the spot where you bumped your head last weekend that would seem like a sensible conclusion. 

    If things don't settle then it's worth having a chat with your GP for some reassurance. 

    Best wishes,
