What Causes A Lump On The Forehead?
My partner has had a lump on the front of his head for about 13 years and over the last few weeks it has been changing slightly and the other day when he felt it he realised he had something crusty in his hair around it... When he looked in the mirror it burst. Lots of cream/brown stuff came out along with some blood and a few small (aprox 2mm) hard lumps came out. It ended up looking like nothing more than a big spot by the end but has since got raised again and is painful. I don't know if there is a link but he has been in a bad mood and going to bed early too. Do you know what this could be and if we should worry about it!?

This is an infected sebaceous cyst that has burst and released the pus and muck. It is a benign condition. Go to a general surgeon and he will clean it and prescribe antibiotics and once the infection clears up, he shall remove it.
