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!
[Cool]

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.
