What Causes A Head Lump With A Residual Hole?
after 13-14 years of this lump on the top back of my head I discovered a hole today.... when I thought there was something in my hair... I just shampooed and let it natural dry and walked down to get the mail so when I brushed back my fly away hair towards the back I felt something in it that I could get It out and wasn t sure what it was and thought maybe a bird flew over head but it isn t quite like that it s more like window putty .

Hi
Welcome to hcm
As per your description it is sebaceous cyst. It has to be removed completely by surgery or else it will recur. So see your surgeon. It's not emergency and not a serious problem.
