Lump On Back Of Head Reappeared, Sore To Touch, Squishy. Having Speech Problems. What Is It?
Hi about 4 months ago i found a lump at the back of my head, i told my doctor he said ita likely nothing and if still there next year hell recheck. However it disappeared after a little while and has now reappear today, a little sore to the touch and abit squishy. About the size of a ping pong ball, im quite worried as ive been having speech problems lately even though i know the word. I told my doctor and he says its nothing. Should i be worried and beg for a second opinion?

Hello,
Thanks for the query to H.C.M. Forum.
The swelling on the back of head and reappear and now sore to touch as may be ,
1 Dermoid cyst ,
2 Sebaceous cyst
Can be confirmed by physical examination by another doctor and get his opinion ( 2nd).
Cause of concern is that this time reoccurs , painful, if your speech problem is related to this tumor then consult at once and get a M R I according to your consultant .
If sebaceous or dermoid get its surgery ( excision).
Hope I have answered your question.
If further any question, I will help.
Good luck. Dr. HET
