What Does A Lump Under The Skin On Forehead Indicate?

default
Posted on Mon, 7 Jul 2014
Question: I have a lump under the skin on my forehead right in the middle near my hairline. It is perfectly round shaped about the size of a coin. There seems to be an indentation right in the middle of it. I've been getting headaches a lot. I also have edema in feet and hands and stiffness all over body.

Detailed Answer:
Hello!

Thank you for the query.

This lump looks like a benign lesion (lipoma, sebaceus cyst) and is not causing your headaches for sure. This lump can be removed with small incision. Ultrasound of this area should be done in case of any doubts.
You should consult neurologist with your headaches. Stiffness all over the body and feet edema can be caused by some arthritis and has also nothing to do with the lump on the forehead.
I suggest you to consult reumatologist with the stiffness.

Hope this will help. Feel free to ask further questions.
Regards.
