A strange lump on my forehead?

I have had a very hard lump on the right upper forehead for 6 years - is it dangeous because now I constantly feel dizzy could this be caused by this lump?

• Answer:

  Dizzyness in adults may be a symptom of a number of underlying conditions, some potentially very serious or life threatening. Without knowing more of your symptoms it may be very hard to make a specific diagnosis however the following advice is given by the NHS on when to seek emergency treatment: Crushing pain like a tight band around your chest, Pain which moves to your jaw or left arm, Sweating heavily, or Shortness of breath? If the answer to any of these questions is yes then seek emergency help immediately and ask for an ambulance. Even if you have none of the symptoms described above, it is recomnmended that you go and speak to a doctor to rule out any other potentially serious underlying causes. The related link is to the UK National Health Service and is in the form of a series of multiple choice questions to which you must answer yes or no. You will then be given advice as to what to do next. IF YOU ARE NOT IN THE UK then the emergency phone number will be different to that on the website.
