What Causes Lumps On The Skull While Suffering From Degenerative Disc Disease?
Hello..I m a 44 year old Caucasian female. I have R.A., A.S., and Degenerative Disc disease. I m currently on Simphonia Aria and Meloxicam..I ve noticed several hard knots on my skull. They don t move and get sore to the touch. I keep forgetting to ask about them. Thank you
As per your treatment for Rheumatoid arthritis and Disc degeneration, drugs are not responsible for causing this hard lump on the skull.
Several other factors should be looked after that. Most of the times some skin and hair infection on your scalp may be responsible as your treatment may cause reduced immunity.
So have a look for that. and apply antifungal shampoo for that.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Nirav Nimavat, General & Family Physician
