I'm the same person who posted here earlier on 02/22/09 - 15:12.
So these bone bumps/lumps on forehead are solid and don't move anywhere. These can be named either a bone exostosis (a new bone formats on the bone surface) or osteoma (a new piece of bone grows on another piece of bone). Though, I don't know what is the main difference between those terms. Also may be called as some kind of bone tumor - not dangerous though.
The only way to remove bone lumps is done by (plastic) surgery as far as I know. Surgeon incises skin 1-2 inches over hair line and wrappes it so that the bone and the lump emerge. Then lump is carefully smoothed down with power drill or file, I don't know for sure.

my boyfriend has one on the same side. nobody knows what it is. that might be true that it is from trama to the head. he ran into a tree playing football years ago and he didn't have the bump before he played.. he really didn't even noticed it till we got together 2 years go and i asked him what it was.. so if u do find out.. let me know..

Hi, for the last 6 months, I have had a quarter sized hard bump on my forehead that does not move. It is located about an inch above my right eyebrow. I recently went to the doctor and he said that it is the hardening of the bone tissue from when I hit my head 7 years ago.
Has anyone heard of a bump appearing on the head years after a concussion? Is there anything, besides surgery, that can be done? Should I get a second opinion from another doctor?

I have the same thing. I can't believe how many people have this yet there are no conclusive findings. Or maybe we are all too stubborn to go to a plastic surgeon or something. I'll continue to monitor this site to see if anyone finds anything.
Perhaps if you were to go I think it might help. I had a friend with a hard lump on his body and it turned out to be bone. Do you think that's wha tit could be?
is it just me or does it hurt for anyone else when u start applying a little preasure on it or push in a certain direction. recently for me, i just turned 17 a few days ago, it starting to hurt, not a physical pain like a scratch but something in my head. at time it feels like a pulse in my head or a vein about to burst if i close my eyes and relax my body to feel for it. b4 it didnt hurt or bother me but now im aware of it cuz its starting to hurt.
sry for repeat.
the pain maybe from lack of sleep or something else but i highly doubt it. email me if u have had similar issues or have any idea wat this lump could be. thx a bunch peeps

I had one at my lefty forehead, hard, and not hurting, but it was getting bigger since I noticed 3 years ago. My friends kept asking how I bumped my head. It looks bad; so I asked my family doctor sent me to see a plastic and cosmetic surgeon.
The plastic and cosmetic doctor told me that it was a "lipoma" (a fat cell). It was common for some people, and it was up to me if I want to remove I will do it for me; or I can leave it. Go and see on YouTube many people have them and see how the surgery has been done.
I did remove it on November 2009 because the longer I wait the more will cost to remove. Now I look handsome again because no more lump on my forehead.

I have one on right side that is getting bigger. Went for an X-ray and then a CT-scan.
Picked up my papers from the doctor's office today about my CT scan of the lump on my forehead.
This is what it said: "There is prominence of ventricular system and extraventicular CSF spaces. There are mild nonspecific periventricular and subcortical white matter changes. There are calcifications along the anterior falx. There is an 8 mm in transverse x 3 mm in AP dimension exostosis in the right frontal bone anteriorly just deep to BB marker. Visualized paranasal sinuses are clear. There are vascular calcifications.
Impression:
1. Parenchymal volume loss.
2. Mild nonspecific periventricular and subcortical white matter changes most likely related to small vessel ischemic disease.
3. Small exostosis in the right frontal bone just deep BB marker.
4. Calcifications along the anterior falx which were visible on the prior radiograph of the skull from 11/25/2009 and of probably of a limited clinical significance."

I too have this lump! I don't remember when I first got it but after a few months of really noticing it, it grew bigger and went a bit soft. Then after about 2 months it went down and dissappared leaving a small scar.
So I thought it must have been a cyst.
Being as it was gone I thought nothing of it any more.
But recently, it's come back. Looks and feels exactly the same as it did the first time I noticed it. So now I don't whether to have it checked out or whether to just leave it and hope it goes the same way as it did the first time. Although I hope it doesn't grow as I experienced some discomfort from it, especially if I ever banged it on something.
It seems strange how I cannot find any medical advice online for this problem. This forum is the only thing I've found on it.

Yep the same thing with me it first started about 4 years ago didnt take much notice of it the odd person use to coment but I didnt take any notice it has since grown considerably and is more noticeable. I am very rarely at the doctors but at any chance I get I mention it . My regular doctor was on Holiday and I was in with my son and I asked about it the doctor told me that yes I could get it removed by surgery a very simple procedure or i could leave it alone as i would be left with a scar. But the clincher for me was that he said it could keep growing and eventually have to be removed anyway - so Im off on monday to get it taken off Im in at 2 o clock as a day patient - i dont have to fast or anything and it will only require a local. Hope it will be worth it in the end - Has anyone else had it removed
im 16 and have the same thing, lump above my right eye. but i can seem to push it and it goes away, but then within a couple of days it comes back , could anybody tell me if its safe to keep pushing it away ? ( i hope im not pushing anything into my brain tbh :'( please help
wow so many questions and hardly any answers.
if anyone knows a good physician or anyone that actually knows any more of this can you get the person to write something in this site.
And im not looking for someone who's going to sugarcoat the truth...i just want some answers.
again if anyone finds a knowledgeable person please get him/her to put up a useful post.
