What is this lump?

It appeared at the side of my head on the left side, close to the hairline a week or two ago. It doesn’t hurt, sort of itches around it sometimes. It’s hard, not moveable and is red, I think becoming redder, not sure. It’s just appeared out of nowhere, should I be worried?

Anyone?

Head lice?

Whatisitthen · 18/07/2023 20:59

@Brexile ? What do you mean, it’s just a lump?

Those photos are far too blurry, sorry.

MrsPelligrinoPetrichor · 18/07/2023 21:02

It's probably nothing, why don't you show the pharmacist and see what they say?

MrsPelligrinoPetrichor · 18/07/2023 21:03

You also win the award for the worst photos ever 🤣

Brexile · 18/07/2023 21:03

If you've scratched an itch it could leave a bump. I don't know if it's that, but my DDs have had lice recently and have been scratching.

Whatisitthen · 18/07/2023 21:03

It’s so hard to get an unblurry pic

Take the pic from slightly further away to get focus then zoom and crop it after you take the snap

Whatisitthen · 18/07/2023 21:06

Hopefully less blurry

If it’s only been there a couple of weeks I guess it could be an insect bite reaction?

Jubaju · 18/07/2023 21:18

What in the nokia3310 pictures are those 😂

ohdannyboy · 18/07/2023 21:19

Could it be a comedone - I had one very similar - google it

Whatisitthen · 18/07/2023 21:21

@Jubaju What? It’s an iPhone

OP posts:
Whatisitthen · 18/07/2023 21:22

@lampformyfeet Maybe, doesn’t look and feel like a normal insect bite though

@ohdannyboy Maybe, but I never have any other spots/acne 🤷🏻‍♀️

You've been impregnated by an alien.. quick - get a test.. baby aliens on the way for you..

Sorry can't tell from your picture or see a bump?

Whatisitthen · 18/07/2023 21:25

@MrsPelligrinoPetrichor Ok, yes, I’m trying to take it myself with my phone as am home alone. Just wanted some advice really.

You need to go and see a pharmacist and see if they think you should go to your GP.

Elisheva · 18/07/2023 21:28

I think you should show your GP if you can manage to get an appointment.

Whatisitthen · 18/07/2023 21:29

@Elisheva Do you think it’s something bad?

OP posts:
Whatisitthen · 18/07/2023 21:30

@elbelx I will do, any ideas what it can be?

Possibly a Campbell de Morgan developing.
I have a lot of them.
Harmless but annoying
