What Does A Soft Lump Around The Temple Indicate?
I have a soft pulsating lump on the left side of my head right around my temple. It is soft and i can feel the vein pulse when i push down on it. There is no pain or headaches only slight hair loss around that area. Its from a injury at party that i sustained around 2 years ago. I never had it checked because I didnt have health insurance until recently. I see my doctor next week but im really worried.

Hello,
Your symptoms seem to be related to lipoma.
A lipoma is a soft, fatty lump that grows under the skin.
It's fairly common, harmless and can usually be left without treatment.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
