My mom has a guilty on upper side of forehead. I want to know is there any side effects or harmful tumors. Pls help me.

Question

Clarify the question, do you mean a swelling or protuberance or enlarged lymph nodes. Forehead as such do not have any lymphatic nidus ,probaby on forehead lipoma (soft and slippery swelling) ,lipomatous cysts (wen) or other degenarative cysts are found, these are all innocuous and are generally benign (harmless) growth (tumor). Still following observation needs confirmation 1-duration of the swelling 2-is it still growing 3-any discharge or pain in swelling or any itching. Patient medical history, age and family history of tumors or cancer will be important. Description you have given do not convey any sinister consequence but still you may meet any qualified doctor or general surgeon. Good luck.
