Welcome to Chat Doctor Hi I am Chat Doctor and I will help with your Query I have gone through your question. It appears to be Desmond cyst keeping in view the site and age. However, it needs further clinical examination, which will help us in assessing features of lump like consistency, mobility/fixity with underlying structures, skin mobility over the swelling. CT scan and MRI are usually performed to know about its extension into the skull bone as it is known for intracranial extensions. Other possibilities are Polar Cyst and Pilomatrixoma. The treatment is surgical excision. You need to see a general surgeon in your area who after evaluation of the lump, will give you a plan for its treatment. I hope this will help you. Do rate my answer if like it. Regards
