Question
I noticed a small knot on my forehead a few months ago. It does not hurt, but it is noticeable.It is hard and can not be moved. I am concerned as it seems to be growing.What could it be? Any ideas on how to get rid of it? There has been no trauma I remember to the area. Thanks for any help.

Answer
Hi Jolene
I have the same knot. Above my forehead. Came up in 1998 , grew steadily since then but I ignored it due to the birth of my first grandchild. May be menopauseally induced.
Mine is rubbery; they are filled with a yellowish fluid, are probably harmless but do not make the mistake that I did--have it removed NOW. People can see it now through my hair and kids remark about it. It's white and my hair is black so it shows up. It has stopped growing and is
about 1/2" wide.
I hope you're like I am and will have it removed soon. Not because I think it's dangerous but because it gets so big. Sometimes mine itches.
Best of luck, Suz

Expertise

I can answer questions regarding helping or curing various diseases and ailments as well as make suggestions on what not to do and give my opinion on what traditional medicine says on the subject given. I believe we need doctors for certain problems such as broken bones but I personally have rarely seen a doctor in over ten years. I take over ten supplements per day at age sixty-two. I will do my best to assist in anything from minor infections to major disease but will readily admit when I cannot offer someone any help. I have discovered a fairly novel approach to weightloss in which I have lost ten pounds.

Experience

I have been helping heal myself, friends and family for ten years and have studied alternative medicine for fifteen years beginning in approximately 1991.
