What Causes A Lump On The Forehead?
Hi, I recently noticed a knot on my forehead that was not there before. It s been there for about 2 days and is about the size of an egg in width and sticks out about half an inch. It hurts when you put pressure on it but has no discoloration. I don t remember hitting my head at all. Please help.

Hello ,
thank you for your question . As i understand you have grown a lump for 2 day with size of an egg , withoult redness of the skin or discoloration ,painfull to palpation . If you were my patient i would suggest getting an appointment with general surgeon for physical examination and probably ultrasonography . It is most probably soft tissue infection that needs to be drained . It also can be some benign tumor like lipoma or atheroma cyst .
