What Causes A Lump On The Top Of Head?
I have a lump at the top of my head. its been there for years never really paid attention to it. Actually besides that lump there is another lump at the top of the back of my head. Not sure what they are. they are about .5 inches protruding about 1 cm as a rough estimate. they are hard and painless. Just feeling curious.

Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The hard lump over the head can be a osteoma or excess bone formation. Nothing to be panic, it is harmless and benign. Consult a oral physician and get it evaluated. You need to take radiogrpahs like PA and Lateral skull views to confirm the diagnosis. This does not require any treatment, unless it interferes with esthetics where it can be managed with surgery.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
