Doctors and Surgeons around! Thanks for answering. I had this bump on my forehead since I was like around 7 years old, I fell on tile. Didn't bother me over the years until I was in 7th grade and just ignored it again. Now turning 18 in 2 months I'm just hating it more cosmetically and worried it might affect me as an adult. I'm thinking it could a cyst or some kind of bone fracture, maybe a blood clog! Help!

Answer: Bump in forehead Thank you for the question. This is most likely one of 2 things. One possibility is a little collection of fat called a lipoma. If the area is soft it is likely this. The other likelihood would be an osteoma which is a bony area on the forehead bone, often related to distant trauma. Both of these entities are easy to treat under local anesthesia. Lipomas can grow, osteomas typically do not. It's best to see a board certified plastic surgeon to seek treatment. Best of luck to you!

Answer: Forehead lump removal the Edelson procedure these are pretty common. It is known as an Osteoid Osteoma. It can be removed by filing it down through a small incision behind the hairline. I have done several of these under local anesthesia and it takes about fifteen minutes. the cost is about $2000 to $2500. if removed endoscopically expect the price to be double that easily. I had a girl from another city was quoted 10,000 to remove.

Answer: Treatment of bump on forehead? The treatment for this will depend on what it is. It could be a cyst, osteoma, or excess bone from trauma, etc. We would need to have x-rays of this area to determine what it is and then take the appropriate treatment. I have removed many of these in the past and most turned out to be excess bone tissue which needs to be shaved.
