It s a bit hard to explain, but I have some sort of ridge on top of my head. It s as if my skull comes up to a long, point. Also, on the lower back on my skull, I have this bump. This bump is definitely apart of my skull and is actually bone. My dad has the same thing, nearly identical to what I have. How could this come about? I have another more neurological question
Hi, Thanks for writing in. It is important to clinically examine the lump and do imaging investigations if required. This is to enable a precise diagnosis and treatment. A CT scan or MRI scan will usually tell the extent and location of the lump. If it is confined to the scalp then it can be a benign cystic lesion or bony out growth. These lumps usually do not extend in to the bone. Most likely it can be an epidermis or Desmond cyst or sebaceous cyst. These are benign harmless swellings. Rarely these can extend in to the brain, and it can only be known by doing imaging investigations. Please consult a neurologist.
