What Does It Mean When You Have A Bump At The Back Of Your Head?

I have a newly formed bump or ridge on the back of my head that has been there for about a week, no explanation where it came from. It feels as hard as bone, not moveable, not a mass, doesn t hurt, but is kinda freaking me out. It is about 3 inches above my neckline, it extends from left of center to slightly right of center of my head?

Hello.
Thanks for the query.
It could be a dermoid cyst.
Consult a neurosurgeon and get evaluated.
A CT scan can be considered for further assessment.

Hope I have answered your queries. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Shinas Hussain, General & Family Physician
