What Could Be The Reason For Having A Lump On The Front Left Side Of My Head?
I have a lump on the front left side of my head. About one inch from center of skull just into the hairline. Sometimes a little smaller and sometimes seems to swell a bit. Sometimes will itch a little. Size at the time seems to have no effect on itching or not. It is about as big as quarter and sort of oval or oblong shaped. Doc says this is probably caused from years of sinus issues. I am not sure I trust this answer

Hi,
Lump on forehead may be either fibroma or sebaceous cyst. Both the swellings are benign,so do not worry. Just you consult either dermatologist or surgeon. After firm diagnosis, he may go for excision under local anaesthesia. I think, you may be alright after simple minor surgery...ok. I hope you got my answer.
Thanks.
