Reason For Lump In The Base Of The Skull?
My 16-year old son mentioned to be last night that he has a lump on the base of his skull that he has apparently had for a while now. It feels hard like a bone. It doesn't hurt or itch. Had he not said that it's been there for a while, I would've assumed something hit him in the back of the head. He is 6'1", 155 lbs. and is very active.

You should go for examination and if needed go for biopsy.Then you should take treatment according to diagnosis.
