I have a hard bump on my head the size of half a small marble. It is hard but the bump comes and goes. My leg all down my tibia used to have similar bumps down it but all of them went away except one that has been there for months. I went to the doctor and they did xrays and said it is soft tissue and if it doesn t go away to goto a general surgeon he said to stop taking my birth control to see if it goes away. By the time I saw the surgeon most of the bumps had gotten a lot smaller and he said why worry about it because it seems to be going down. I now don t know what to do because the bump on my forehead is not going away. I was thinking (with no medical backround) that it was possibly a calcium deposit
Hi. Thanks for your query and an elucidated history. These are not calcium deposits for sure as they would have been picked up as shining spots on X-rays. Since these are reducing in size, I am sure that these are not due to cancer or so. Hence, not much to worry about. But since the one on the forehead and the tibia are not vanishing it is better to get one of them excised and send for histopatho examination so that the most proper diagnosis can be had, and the further treatment be planned as per the reports.
