What Is The Baseball Sized Mushy, Fluid Filled Painful Lump On My Head?

I developed a baseball sized mushy, fluid filled lump on my head over the past two days. It has started to move down my forehead a bit and is rather painful. I did not hit my head, nor did I participate in any activity out of the ordinary. What is going on?

Hello,

I have studied your case.

As per your history it looks swelling of soft tissue which can be venous clot or Hematoma/cyst collection which is fibrosed due to internal bleeding

Another possibility of lipoma can be considered.
Pain on swelling indicates inflammatory process or nerve compression.
I will advise you to do MRI and Ultrasound of the swelling.
If its collection it can be excised.


Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.

Wishing you good health.

Take care.
