I Have Two Raised Bumps Above my Forehead, What is It and What Can Be Done? (photo)
Recently I have noticed two raised bumps right above my eyebrows. I'm unsure if this is my brow being very prominent or if its anything else. They look odd, and I have been looking at other people and don't see anyone else with this raised brow. It is very noticeable in pictures where a flash is used and makes me very self conscious. I seek advice and help of what can be done to get rid of these, and if someone can explain. I am a 20 year old male. I don't know how long this has been there, thanks!

The approach would be as a coronal incision hidden within your scalp assuming you do not have a high forehead and...
