Noticed A Hard And Painless Lump On Top Of The Head

my 14 year old son has had a lump on the top of his head that has gotten bigger. It is hard and painless. My mother in law had a skin issue she gets these lumps so I have never got it checked out, but now I am concerned because it has continued to grow, so I can see it when he gets his hair trimmed short.

not to worry for this: it is kind of a benign cystic lesion like sebaceous cyst!

caution not to handle it roughly as it can get infected and turn into an abscess

take your time to have an FNAC test for confirmation and surgical removal if you wish!

all the best!
