Any new "lumps" on your body are never normal and should be evaluated by a medical professional for diagnosis and treatment. It may be nothing. It may be a cyst, or it may be something more serious. You need to go to a doctor. In person. No one is able to (or will) diagnose you online. You only have one body. Please contact a health professional immediately. ~ T

Lumps found on the head can have any number of explanations, the simplest of which is getting bumped on the head. If the lump does not go away in a timely manner, though (usually a few days), this could signify something more serious--a concussion or even a tumor. It is best to seek a medical professional right away.

What is a hard lump on your skin?

There are all sorts of lumps in your skin. They can be mosquito bites, goosebumps, warts, zits, and many other types of diseases. If you have a lot of lumps in your skin and are pretty small, they can probably be a goosebump. Sometimes, chicken pox can be formed into a lump. Chicken pox is red, so I'm not assuming you have chicken pox. I am assuming you have goosebumps. You get goosebumps when you are cold. If those lumps are itchy, it's probably a mosquito bite. If it's not, sadly it's probably a wart, zit, or something in a different type of lump. Hopefully this helped!
