What Causes A Soft Bump On Forehead?
Question: hi I have bump on my forehead that has been there for about five years, it feels like a cyst as it is soft and is under my skin could it be harmful?
Brief Answer:
This is not harmful.
Detailed Answer:
Hello.
Thank you for the query.
This lump is most likely a lipoma. This is a benign soft tissues leasion. It does not turn into a cancer. It will be slowly getting bigger. You may have it removed by a general surgeon.
But for sure there is nothing to worry and it can be left alone.
Hope this will help. Feel free to ask further questions.
Regards.
