Have Had A Pea Sized Bony Bump On The Middle Of Forehead. What It Could Be?
Question: Ive had a pea sized boney bump on the middle of my forehead for around 5 yr it's under the skin and feels stuck to my skull any ideas of what it could be
Hi,
Thanks for your question.
From what I understand you are having a bony swelling (bump) on the middle of your fore head under skin attached to your skull from last 5 years.
Most probably it could be a bony exostosis from frontal bone (skull bone). Exostosis can be confirmed by X-ray skull.
It is a benign swelling and it will not affect you. You need not be concerned.
Hope I answered your question. If you have any other query, do posts follow up.
I will be readily available to answer.
Regards
