What Does Lump Behind Head Indicate?
My 19 yr old sister has a golfball sized lump at the back of her head. At the base of the skull, top of the neck. I was brushing her hair when I noticed and started rubbing it. My sister also noticed and said it felt strange for me to touch it. She knew it was there, said it had been there for a long time and that she thought it was normal. I m wondering if we should be concerned.
