Headache and lump

2017-11-03 20:16:55
I suddenly found a swelling or lump on my left side of head. I do remember this may be due to a long due head injury. But since I am having headache it is driving me crazy that it is due to brain tumor. Please please help me out as m out of sleep. Can you have a swelling or lump which may not be a tumor ?? Thanks

Not all lumps on head are Brain tumors. But it is better and safer to do an MRI of the Brain and make sure that everything is fine. You need to consult a Neurosurgeon.
