Shallow raised lump/mass on front left of head

Posted by nhezk @zknhb, Dec 10, 2025

Hi, I'm 14 and have noticed a hard (very hard), painless lump that feels like its just slightly raises up and feels like skull. I am very worried it is a tumour or something bad, but its not like a lump at all really it's like a mass like a platform thjat just raises up. I have hypochondriasis and any advice would be great. also at the back of my head it raises quite significantly but that is not localised to one location, but the entirety of the rear of my head

Thanks!

@randallshields56 hey - no I have not but was really wondering if it was something that I should have an appointment for. I have no other symptoms of any sort of brain tumour besides the fact I woke up a bit dizzy this morning... its certainly not a bug bite because its quite large, its not raised much but its probably the size of the rim of a water bottle, only slightly raised, totally rock hard.

afternoon, well if its new to that area and not from hitting your head or a bug infection , like tick then i would definitely get it looked at. have had a lot of issues growing up. spider bites and ticks and chiggers just to name a few. but i would have peace of mind if i get it checked out. let me know what the doctor says and ill send a prayer up that its not serious.------------sent.

get it checked by an MD forthwith to rule out some sort of cancerous growth that needs to be removed ASAP.
