What Could Be The Slowly Growing Bump On Head?

I have a small bump on my head. I have had it for a few years now and when I first noticed it it was about a fourth of a inch now it s been about 3 yrs and it s about a inch in diameter. It s not painful but it s slowly growing. Do I need to get it checked out since i ve had it for so long or is it something I don t need to worry about. I mean I have been putting it off for so long i don t want it to grow anymore but i m nervous of what it could be

General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi ! Good morning. I am Dr Shareef answering your query.

From your history, it does not seem to be something to be scared about. In any case, if I would have been your family physician, I would have referred you to a general surgeon for a clinical examination followed by a FNAC and an excision biopsy if considered appropriate by him for a definitive diagnosis. Further management if any would depend on the reports of investigations of all these tests.

I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts.
Thanks for choosing health care magic to clear doubts on your health problems. Wishing you an early recovery. Dr Shareef.
