What Does A Pea-sized Hard Lump On The Head Indicate?
Hi I am a 18 year old female. I have had this pea-sized hard bump on my head for as long as I can remember. Its very ugly, and it doesn t hurt. The bump is very annoying in a sense that it can be clearly visible at times if I part my hair a certain way. I m very sick of it and I often contemplate chopping it off completely myself. Can someone please help me I just want to know what is it. If it s cancerous. Is it too late for me to go to a doctor? Thank you!

Hi,
Since you are only 18 years old female a bump on head there is no chance of it being cancer. So no worry about cancer.
The commonest cause at your age of such a bump or a lump is a sebaceous cyst.
The best way is to consult a General Surgeon for clinical evaluation, examination and get surgically removed for a possible cure and good aesthetic.
Stop worrying unnecessarily.
Take care.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Hi,
It is not cancerous. It is probably a lipoma, i.e. a benign ball of fat in your subcutaneous tissue. If it bothers you, I suggest you have it removed in local anesthesia at a general doctor's or a plastic surgeon.
