I have a very hard lump just above my left temple. It is the size and shape of an almond. I noticed it a couple weeks ago. I did not bump my head. Does not hurt to touch. Might cause headaches. 35 yo female. No previous head injuries. Any ideas? Thank you
Hello! Welcome to Chat Doctor. This can be an asteroid Osceola most likely as you said It's very hard in consistency. This is a benign lump.Also, it can be very tense cystic swelling perceived as hard, a Desmond or sebaceous cyst. Clinical examination is necessary for diagnosis, also FNAC - fine needle aspiration cytology is advisable for diagnosis. Treatment is done accordingly. Hope this helps. Wish you healthy life. Thanks.
