Hi, I noticed a hard lump on the back of my head, about 1 to the right of the middle of the back of the head and about 2 above my hairline. It s smaller than a dime, raised and hard, non-moving and not painful. It showed up a couple of weeks ago. I am a 47 y/o female. I have had 3 consecutive blood tests where calcium has been out of range (10.5, 10.6, 10.5). Had my PTH and vitamin D checked, the PTH was in range but at the higher end, and Vitamin D was out of range at 30. I suspect I may have a parathyroid issue. Could the bump be related? If not, any thoughts on what this might be? Thank you, Chris
Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. Your lump has no relation with your calcium, PTH or it d. It may be some occipital lymph node enlargement due to some infection or some benign cyst or soft tissue tumor. You should take a course of antibiotics. If it does not respond to treatment then biopsy diagnosis is advised. Consult your doctor and take treatment accordingly.
