Question:
I just noticed a bump on my head but i do not remember hitting my head. What could this be from?
3 days ago i got a sun burn on my head, now i noticed a 1 inch size bump on my forehead. I do not remeber hitting my head. Its not noticable but you can feel it. Could this be any effect from the sunburn?
Answers:
Yes, Allison is right, u must have hit ur head and forgotten about it.
If u hit somewhere, it could be a hematoma (accumulation of clot blood), which will hurt, but will get alright by itself in a few days & is nothing to worry about. This is very common.
If it is quite soft, it could be a sebaceous cyst, which should be removed surgically (swollen sebaceos gland because fo blocked opening), but isn't anything really serious.
If the area is very painful, & if u r also having fever, it could be an abscess (a type of infection), which would require incision and drainage (putting a small cut under local anesthesia).
Go to a doctor if u develop fever or if its size increases or pain increases, or if it doesn't get alright in 2 more days.
Hope this helps. Bye. TC.
