What Causes A Lump In The Forehead Of A Child?

Hi my son is 7 years old n has had a lump on his forehead for a couple of years it is as hard as his skull. Since having it he is randomly sick, he gets a fever and constant headaches. N he says he feels pressure in his head. His behaivour is very erratic. One minute hes fine n the next hes really angry or really hypo. The past couple of weeks he has had a headache n pressure every day. Were at a loss. Should i take him to the drs or do u think im overeacting. Thanks

Hi
Thanks for writing to healthcare magic.
Lumps can be a cyst, dermoid, post traumatic fibrous tissue, etc
Send us some pictures if you could.
If it is associated with headache, take him to your doctor to get him examined, scan or Xray may be required.

Wishing your child speedy recovery
Regards
Dr Arun
