Suggest Treatment For Lump On The Head After An Accident
Hi, my husband is 38 and has had a lump on the front part of his head. He hit his head with a pile driver at work about 10 years ago. It s about the size of a quarter. Its raised up and moves around. It seems like some days it more raised up than others and he gets dizzy and has headaches. What could it be. Please help.

Hello and welcome to HCM,
A lump in the head after a head injury can lead to symptoms like headache and dizziness.
A head injury should be followed by CT scan because asymptomatic injuries can lead to blood clots and hemorrhage which be serious later on.
Thus, I suggest you to get a CT scan of the head region for assessment and thus management.
Consult your physician or preferable neuro-surgeon for clinical assessment and thus management.
Thanks and take care
