Hard lump on head

2018-01-07 06:20:54
For a few years now, I’ve been able to feel this really weird shaped bump on the top of my head, kinda off to the left side. It’s smaller in size, but noticeable if you feel it. It feels like a really hard bone, or like the bone didn’t form correctly. I didn’t have any trauma as a kid to make the bone shape incorrectly, so I have no idea what it is.
