What Causes Lump On Head?

Hello, well I ve recently discovered this bump on my head. I ve also had symptoms that I think are linked to it. I ve heard cracking in my head like my bones are splitting, I ve felt heat in my head & my eyes, and my stomach & torso. I ve had indigestion & head pains and some gradual chest pains. I ve seen my doctor about this & he said he couldn t feel a lump but it s clearly protruding. He prescribed me naproxen & said come back if it doesn t work. I even had to go to the er before I could get a doctor s appointment & they couldn t find anything wrong. I m just worried it could be something very life threatning.

Hi!, I would like to summarize your case first like this:

Your 'feel' a bump on the head which is recent, protruding and is associated with heat in eyes/head, stomach, torso and cracking sensations, gradual chest pain, indigestion etc...but doctor fails to identify i; it is resistant to analgesics...

Therefore, I must suggest few possibilities in this case:

1. a neurofibroma

2. metastatic cancer

3. neuropsychiatric problem

Therefore please see a neurologist as most of the symptoms are related to nerves and get x-ray or CT scan of the region for a diagnosis;

regards!
