Suggest Treatment For A Painless Lump On My Forehead

I have a lump on my forehead. I think I was born with it, have absolutely no problems but as a female it spoils my style it is hidden by my hair but when I get my hair done hairdressers ask questions while other customers are around and its embarassing. I want to get rid of it, infact I was told by one of my hairdresser that it is getting smaller then its previous size. I believe from taking antioxident supplements but they are expensive for me. Please advise how I can get rid of it. Dee

Hi,Dear,Welcome with your query to HCM.
Studied your query in full depth of its details.Reviewed it in context of your health concerns.
Based On the facts, You mostly seem to suffer from-
Congenital Dermoid Cyst ,which would be confirmed by CT Skull to assess its intracranial extension.

Treatment -
Consult a Surgeon and confirm the type of Congenital Dermoid Cyst.
Confirm if it has Intra-cranial Dumb-Bell extension,as to avoid on-Table complications while Surgically excising such a lump.
NeuroSurgical Excision for those dermoids having IntraCranial extensions may be needed.

Hope that ,This reply would help you to plan further treatment soon with your treating doctors.Best of Luck and early recovery.
