Large And Small Hard Bumps On Top Of Head Under Scalp, Raised A Little. No Injury, Pain, No Change In Size. Ideas?
I have noticed a large bump and a smaller adjacent one on the top of my head under my scalp, they are hard lumps, the big one the width of a dime the other half that size and raised enough to notice . Not at all painful and no traumas to my head that I can think of, they just appeared about a month ago, no change in size since then.

Hi,
Welcome to HCM.
The lumps you have would be tumors or cysts.
Thorough clinical examination and investigations are needed for the diagnosis .
For that you consult either dermatologist or surgeon.
If needed, biopsy may be done.
They may be removed by surgeon under local anaesthesia.
So do not worry, just consult the expert.
I hope you got my answer.
Thanks.
