Small hard bump on my head

[kay231]

I have recently found a small hard bump on my head. I am a bit worried it could be somthing bad. It doesnt hurt when i touch it and when i got my Boyfriend to feel it he said he could hardly feel anything and that he couldnt see anything i cant see it myself as its at the back of my head in a awkward place.  It is definitely a bump though i cant really feel it unless i press quite hard the skin moves around it too.

Not sure what this could be and im really scared. I am actually going for a mole check on all my moles next weeend with a skin doctor so i will ask him but id just like to know what it could possible be.

Thank you

i just read this post and i too have a  hard lump on my scalp and it seems to have gotten a little bigger since it now bothers me  when i shampoo or brush my hair.  and i do have seizures  should i be concerned about this .. i noticed you did ask about having epilepsy .. does that have something to do with this?

This does not sound like anything bad. Depending how low it is on the back or your head it may be a swollen lymph node. Rarely a tumor of the brain can be felt on the scalp (unless it is at the end of the disease stage). Do you have epilepsy, aneurism, or has anyone in your family had brain stem glioma? Also, this could be an infection or from just scratching your head. I would get an MRI to be sure.
