What Does Hard, Painless And Non-itchy Bump On Forehead Indicate?

There is a hard white ball on the edge of a fairly new scar on my forehead. Looks like a big whitehead but won t pop. No pain or itching comes from the spot. Just wondering if it is extra scar tissue or something else? Also, can it be removed or will it go away with time?

thanks for sharing your health concerns with us!

you have to mention the size of the lumps; however, possibilities are: a sebaceous cyst or a keloid like thing! Not likely to go away with time please ask your surgeon!

an FNAC TEST IS THE BEST WAY TO CONFIRM IT!

all the best...................
