General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Dear thanks for the question and for choosing HCM.

It could be originated from bone, scalp skin glands, or a dermoid. Physical examination like it's colour, exact location (on skull bone joints or in middle of bone), hairs, hardness etc. It would be good if you can send a photograph of this lump. Or else visit a general surgeon in your area for examination. It seems to be harmless, but cell study or biopsy will confirm its nature. If needed it can be removed by a surgery.

I hope my reply will benefit you. Please write to hcm for follow up queries. Hit a thanks. Thank you
