My husband has a palpable lump on the left lateral side of his head, approx. 3cm. Not sure how long it s been there, but he has recently been complaining of dizziness at times. Any ideas as to what this could be & could it be related to a head injury he had 6 months ago?
Hi ! Good evening. I am Chat Doctor answering your query. If I were your doctor, after a clinical assessment of the lump and a general examination of your husband including his blood pressure measurement, if considered necessary would advise him for CT scan of head to rule out any intracranial space occupying lesion which includes a subdural hematoma or any other neurological problem for his dizziness. Appropriate management would follow after the reports. I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts. Thanks for choosing Chat Doctor to clear doubts on your health problems. I wish you an early recovery. Chat Doctor.
