Suggest Treatment For A Painful Lump On The Forehead

Hi there, I have a hard oval like lump (1.5cm length) on the left side of my forehead, deep under my skin. When I press on it, I get tingling and numbness on the top of my head, and a shooting type of pain around the area. Really confused about it, and I don t want to go to the doctors in case of wasting their time. In addition, over the past months, my vision has progressively deteriorated, and I ve been having weird mood changes since the lump has formed, causing me to have treatment for depression. Any idea what the lump may be?

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 dermoid cyst or 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.
