Could A Lump In The Scalp Cause Mood Swings

there was a link to an already asked question about lump that doesnt show up when i look for it here.
My daughter has one that moves around under the scalp on the left side of of her head that is sometimes soft and sometimes hard variably about the size of a nickel to quarter. It is sometimes sensitive to touch but not majorly painful. There have been some moodswings more strong that usual lately, but she is 15 so could just be hormonal.

Hi.This may be a lipoma or a sebaceous cyst and the best way is to get this excised for two reasons. One you get the disease out of the body and secondly you get he histopathological diagnosis.
The mood swings are related to the hormonal changes and not the swelling.
