The bone on the right side of my forehead is sticking out more than the other side. Why is that? (Photo)

melih1122Oct 27, 2020
I‘ve noticed this recently a lot whenever someone takes pictures of me. How there’s a slight bump on one side of my forehead. Also when I touch it I can feel it. It used to be less noticeable, but since I lost about 17 pounds and my face has become more defined I can see it more. It always depends on lighting and the angle of the picture, but it definitely bothers me and would love to know what it is and if there‘s a way to remove it? Or should I get it checked?

First, you need to determine whether the bump is an osteoma (bone) or lipoma (soft tissue). A CT scan will reveal this. Depending on the results, the bump can then be removed.

You do have relatively two mild bony prominence, one on each side in the suprabrow area. But apart from that, your forehead is relatively normal. I think what is exaggerating the concerns you have highlighted is your high hairline. I think you would benefit from simply considering hairline...
