What Causes Lump At The Base Of The Skull?
My son is 17. It sounds crazy, but I have been concerned about the shape of his skull lately. The top(more toward the back) part of his head is not flat/round feeling. It has a good size bump there. He also has a lump at the base of his skull by his neck. No head injuries. Any thoughts? Should I have him looked at? And if so, would he be better off seeing a neurologist or GP?

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
He may have some occipital or posterior cervical lymphnode enlargement or some benign tumour. You should consult general surgeon. If needed go for fine needle aspiration cytology. Then take treatment accordingly.
