Growth on the back of my head
Posted , 4 users are following.
i've had the growth since i was young. However it's grown slightly since then. What's noticable is its pertruding more. i've done some research, but trying to describe it is quite difficult. I would like to know what it is and whether it can be removed. i'm a Tree surgeon so it's becoming uncomfortable with helmet use. Thanks

I don't know what that is, but I think you should see a doctor about it. There's a small possibility it could be a melanoma, but that's unlikely if you've had it so long. Whatever it is, it's unlikely to go away without treatment.
It's probably nothing serious, but I'd see a doctor in the next few days if I were you, rather than keep putting it off, and I'd keep it covered on sunny days. If you could let us know what the doctors say, it would be appreciated.

Better image. Doctors appointment booked for next week. i've always presumed it was some type of birth mark or mole. But i can't find anything similar on MD websites/forums. it's not painful but i can feel pain if i pinch it.

I think those may just be warts, which would be nothing to worry about, but I'm glad you've made an appointment. I'm surprised that a barber/hairdresser hasn't suggested it.

That looks more like warts, but more of them than were visible on the first two pics. I'm not a doctor though, so good luck, and let us know what the doctor (or dermatologist if you get referred) says.

The photos don't really do it justice. Most people who see it presume it's a wart, then they change their mind and say i don't have a clue. Barbers don't have a clue. it almost looks like brain tissue, the way it's formed.

I would have that checked by a Doctor. He'll probably do a biopsy. Better to be safer then sorry.
