Hi doctor. I am worried for my mums health condition. Earlier today, I noticed a red lump On the left side of her head growing under her hair.It was the size of an eraser. When asked, she was secretive about and wouldnt want to tell me why..Do you have any explanation for it?Please help her.
HelloSubcutaneous lesion in head may be due to many causes like lipoma, dermoid cyst, epidermoid cyst, infective collection etc. These are generally due to benign causes. Need of treatment depend upon clinical evaluation and patient complain. She may need ultrasound of swelling. CT scan of head can be done after evaluation. Excision of lump can be done after evaluation. Get well soon. Take Care Chat Doctor.
