I am a 32 year old female. I noticed on the top right side of my head a lump, it doesn t hurt it almost feel numb/dead to the touch if that makes sense. It s something I haven t noticed before. What could it be and should I get seen. I m healthy and I can t think of any recent health changes I ve had.

hi.
noted history of lump on head. it may be any of the following: a lipoma (fatty deposit), fibroma (fibrous tissue formation) or a cystic formation. other tumor lesions must also be ruled-out. it is best if you consult with a doctor, preferably a general surgeon, for physical examination and clinical evaluation. diagnostics (such as xray, ct-scan, tissue biopsy) and management (medical and/or surgical if indications are found) will be directed accordingly.
hope this helps.
good day!!
