Have recently been noticing a bump on the right side of the top of my head. Actually it feels more like a ridge. About an inch and a half long,an inch wide tapering at each end and I estimate the height at about 1/4 to 1/2 inch..
It seems to have a small barnacle like scabbie thing in the middle. I have headaches often as we all do,but they do not seem to eminate from the bump.
Could this be the meds? or the bab or the barn? I am having so much mental stuff going on.Sometimes I honestly feel like I'm going to explode!!! Is my head now transformed in to a volcano? Anyone else got this ridge-like lump going on??? I'm frightened...AGAIN.

Hey Bartblues,
Just posted same thing, and since we both have bart, I think that might be a clue. Only I have them all over my head, and I'm still here.
Maybe bart is trying to leave cause we're blasting it with stuff? I will check with ND and see if he can figure it out and I will let you know.
Hang tough!

Bartonella Blues: When did you first notice this? Has it changed at all in size?
It might be a fatty cyst, which usually doesn't hurt unless it gets infected.
I have two imbedded in my scalp.
If it hurts when you press on it, do hot compresses for 20 minutes at a time, every couple hours. This should help it to heal....if it's badly infected, it might bring it to a head.

Editing to add, I just remembered the right word for fatty cyst: sebacious cyst.
