Suggest Treatment For A Lump On The Head
hello. i am a thirty two year old female. I have had a growth on my head since i was about into my teenage years. It is raised and seems squishy to the touch. It is a lighter colored brown color. It appeared in the same spot that my birthmark was in when i was born. I have never had it checked out before. It usually isnt bothersome. Very seldom will it hurt a little bit. It is almost oval in shape and not completely rounded on the edges. I have always been afraid to get it examined of removed and just wondered what it may be? Any ideas?

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
You may have some soft tissue tumor like lipoma or neurofibroma. Or you may have some skin adenexal tumor.
You should go for fine needle aspiration cytology or biopsy of that lump.
It will give you exact diagnosis.
Then you should take treatment accordingly.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic.
Wish you a very good health.
