Should I Be Worried As I Am Having A Lump Above My Temple?
Hi my name is sam. I'm 18 and I found a small lump above my left temple about one inch above my left eyebrow
And idk what it is. Feels like a hard bone almost like a knuckle and my skin moves freely over it like it's attached to my skull. Do you know what this could be? I'm worried

Hello
I appreciate your concern
this could be a dermoid cyst
you should be worried but not too much
in my opinion you should consult a general surgeon for examination
if it doesn't bother you much it can left untreated in case of symptoms it can be removed surgically
I hope this answers your question
best wishes
