I have a bump on my head, a little below my ear (where my hair is) - it has been there for a least a few years. Should this be something to be concerned about?
Also, I hit my head on concrete a few years ago - I don't know if this is the same exact spot, but this hit caused me to black out. This might NOT have anything to do with my current bump, though...just a thought.
What could this be? I am 15. Thank you.

PS - This bump doesn't hurt, and feels like it is just part of my skull.

HI,
THIS IS PROBABLY NOTHING THAT NEEDS ATTENTION NOW, BUT TO GET THE ALL CLEAR SEE A DOCTOR.

It could be a sebaceous cyst of your scalp. If it bothers you, or if it grows, then you might want to see a physician. He/she will be able to remove it in the office. It's not a very big procedure - the area is numbed, the cyst is removed, and the wound is closed with sutures.
Hope this helps.
