i woke up this morning scratching my head and i felt something i have never felt before. it was a small bump on the back of my head. i started to think the worst, the first thing that comes to mind is the c word. yes, CANCER...

are you worried you might have cancer?

dont feel alone, there are many of us who feel the same way when we discover a bump on our heads. after all, this is not a normal thing.

well, let me ease your mind. its most likely not cancer. many people develop lumps of fat between our scalp and out skull.

as long as it doesn't hurt when you press it down.. and by pain, i mean horrible pain where you can't stand, i dont mean the kind of pain you would feel if you press down on hard.

the doctor can easily remove this fat from your head in one visit. however, you can live with it. i discovered mine in 2002, i have had it, it has not grown. so dont worry.

however, if you still worry about it, the worst thing you can do is go on the internet trying to find a solution for it. the only way to know for sure its if your doctor takes a look at it. if you still not convince or dont trust your doctor, as your doctor for an x-ray, and if after doing an x-ray you still not convince. ask your doctor to do an CT Scan or MRI
