Hello,
Commonly bump or swelling on the frontal side of the head is indicative of osteoma, osteoma on the forehead or skull may cause
headaches. Osteomas are benign growths of bone, they ideally require no treatment, they are harmless.
However, you are advised to get clinically examined by an
oncologist, get biopsy, X-ray, CT and MRI done to be on the safer side and to detect any other medical condition like tumors, malignant growths, injuries, trauma, etc., so that you can be treated at the earliest.
Osteomas may not always need treatment. When treatment is necessary, your treating doctor will remove the growth. Before removal the treating doctor may monitor the growth over time and treat it only if needed. You can take
Acetaminophen, one sat when needed to get rid or inflammation, swelling and headache.
Staying away from stress, anxiety and a quality sleep at night will help to reduce the symptoms.
Dehydration and
hypoglycemia may cause such symptoms. Stay well hydrated, take fluids and water. Take food in time, do not miss meals.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Nupur K., General & Family Physician
