I have the same thing on my forehead too. Right in the center above my nose. I met with a cosmedtic surgeon <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
and he removed most of it. Its a type of growth on the bone that can be scraped off. I have a scar right on it, so i must have hit my head when i was a child. The surgeon cut the same sacr and was able to remove most of it. It still there some and am going to see him again to even it out. I forget the name of the growth but will be back here to let you know and how it turns out.I've been to several doctors and they say it's not serious and they would not help. I went to this doctor who is my dermatologist also the cosmetic surgeon and he knew right away what it was. It took him no more than a minute to figure this out when other doctors knew nothing.
I had a large bump on my left side of my forehead that just showed up one day. It grew over the years and for 10 years I asked every doctor that I saw what is it, why is it there and what caused it.
My first doctor said it was a wen. Asked if it was hurting and I said no so he dismissed it as nothing. After he retired, the next doctor that I was seeing told me it was nothing and that it was probably just a bone. The next doctor I saw basically went off of what the previous doctor said to me that it was probably just a bone and it was nothing to worry about since it was not hurting me.
Every doctor I saw for the next 10 years told me the same thing. It is nothing to worry about and if it doesn't hurt then leave it alone. I went to get a check up in January and the doctor told me my checkup was fine and asked if I had any other concerns. I told him the only concern was this bump on my forehead that seems to be quite large (most people didn't notice as I kept it covered by my hair).
When I lifted my hair and he saw the bump he said he would send me to get an ultrasound just to see what it might be and how we could deal with it. When the results came back and he saw me, he said he was sending me to a specialist who would give me the options of what I could do and what the cost would be.
When the specialist saw me, he commented on the size of it and told me it was a fat tumour and that it needed to be removed as it will continue to grow and eventually cause a lot of problems for me. I saw this specialist on March 12 and was booked in for a simple surgical procedure (day surgery) on May 25, 2012.
I was given a local anaesthetic and prepped for the removal of this tumour. When the doctor went in, he realized that this "harmless" tumour had attached to some facial muscle and also had put a dent in my skull. I thought he was joking and he told me he was serious and that he had taken longer because he had to repair the damage that had been done to the muscle that this tumour had attached to.
Please, please, please..... if something doesn't feel right to you, keep being that squeaky wheel until someone listens to you. I'm very fortunate that a doctor finally did something about it and the damage that was done was repairable considering how long this tumour had been in my head (10 years). All any doctor had to do was send me for an ultrasound.
