Bump on head has got me down for years. Please read.

[helloall]

Hi.

Ive a very unusual prob.

When I was about 10yo I was tarvelling on a train. I was standing up and the train jolted resulting me in hitting my forehead against a window.

I thought nothing more of it.

When I was 16 a friend commented on me having a big bump on my forehead and asked me what happened. At this point I realised how noticable it was.

I went from having a cool hairstyle to having to cover it up with my fringe.

Ever since then its come as a second nature to me to cover this bump up, especially when i go out for the night (as the lights in pubs/clubs shows it up real bad when aimed at my head at a certain angle).

I believe this problem has contributed to me being low in slef confidence, always wondering if people are gonna notice this bump.

I dont even know what its like to be able to go out and feel your best (hair done up and all) anymore.

The bump is about 3/4 of an inch in diameter and located on the left hand side of my forehead.

I went to a doctor before about it. He warned me off getting anything done about saying 'No one will notice!' - I was annoyed by this. HE also said itd cost a lot of money to get it operated on - if ANYONE would even do that!

I feel like a freak even posting this message but it really is annying me for the past 5 years, it comes as a second nature to covering it up.

People have said - why dont you get your head shaved or skipe your hair up - i know only too well that itd notch my rating points up if i did this - BUT I CANT - im way too paranoid about it.

So what should i do guys? Im not gonna NOT GIVE A DAMN - that just doesnt work. I need to know if its possible to get it removed and how much would it cost?

Thanks for the help

Sounds dangerous to start messing around with the formation of your head, but maybe you could start by going to see a plastic surgeon. They've been known to work miracles.

As a second choice, perhaps go to a hair stylist (ie.not some $14 mall barber) and see what they can do with your hair. Maybe there's a style that will suit you that they can suggest.

I agree with GN..sounds dangerous, but maybe there is a safe way to do it. Maybe there is a good haircut that would suit you also.

I really know the feeling of being paranoid about something and I also really think that you might exaggerate A LOT and that it doesnt either look as bad as you think and/or that it maybe the friend who asked you about it did see it, but didnt think it looked ugly or disgusting or whateva but just noticed it and was wondering if something happened to u lately or whateva...I know you dont really want to hear such statements, but I think chances are you're overly paranoid about it...believe me...Ive been there too. I used to think I was fat a couple of years ago just cause some skinny friend called me fat once lol and back then I had rather a lower body fat percentage than I have now...and Im probably around 15% now lol...Im still wondering how I could be so stupid. Anyways can you take a picture of yourself and show it to us? Maybe just one of your forehead or whateva..?

Jean Claude Van Dame has a large bump on his forehead...

Actually I know a few ppl who have bumps on their foreheads too and u see that there is a little bump, but it doesnt make them way less attractive or anything. Try and post a pic of your face/your forehead or something, I think you might really be paranoid about it for no real reason.

Yesterday I noticed that an acquaintance of mine had a new hairstyle...with the hair covering most of the forehead..but well a little messy or spikey or whateva and it does looks good on him. Im pretty sure a good hairstyler would find a good hairstyle for you too in case ure really not just paranoid about it.
