ARound a year ago I first noticed a lump on the right side of my forehead. The lump seems to be growing very very slowly. The current size is around 1 inch in diameter and the center is elivated by around 1cm. I estimate that it has nearly double in size from the previous year. Since it is still small and the growth seems so little I don't really think it is any thing, but should I see a doctor about it.

Do you have a fear of seeing your doctor?
Do you have health insurance?

Go to a freaking doctor. If you face starts growing something... that might just be important to have looked at...

No I dont have a fear of doctors, I just don't want him to think I am making something out of nothing.

Having a 1 inch diameter, 1 cm elevated lump on your forehead that has noticebly grown bigger isn't making something out of nothing!

Something's making something more than nothing on your regular head. That's good enough reason to see a doctor. It could be as benign as a sebacious cyst, but whatever it is, you want to know before it gets beyond fixing. :Q

Hmmm... Maybe you're growing a second brain, and you can Ghost your first one in case it gets hit by a virus. :p

Good luck. :)

Or does it hurt at all ?

You've had a growing lump on your head for a year now, and you still haven't seen a doctor?

In case you're wondering, no, that's not normal.

Your now a true ATOT'er, asking for medical advice on the forums. Next we'll see a post asking if you should call the cops because ur house is being robbed or something.

Unless you're looking forward to naming it and drawing a face on it, I'd see a doctor. They won't think you're making anything up.

Dont know if this means anything but it is clearly not like fleshy and part of the skin. When rub your forhead you can feel hard bone under it, well when you rub this area you feel hard lump so I think it might be bone.

It's probably no big deal, but it's always better to *know* it's nothing to worry about.
