Suggest Treatment For Persistent Bumps On The Forehead

default
Posted on Thu, 27 Jul 2017
Question: I am a healthy 41 year old male.
I have had a very small (less than 1mm) skin toned bump on my forehead for at least a year. It is round and symmetric. It has not changed size or color. The closest thing I can find to it online is epidermoid cyst. I just want reassurance it's not skin cancer. It's the size of a pen head and hasn't changed since I first noticed it a year and a half ago. I am a worry wart and am looking for some reassurance.
