so i have these bumps on my head.. they've been there for years... new ones develop every couple of years. they're like... knots.. about the size of... nickels. like hard knots.. big, too.. well, "tall"... it's odd. anyone else have these?
I have a hard "knot" on the top left of my head. I have had it since I was little. I went to a doctor about it years ago but it is nothing. I call it my "knot".

I do too. Just two. Right next to each other and one is wider than the other (one feels like a pea and the other like a lima bean in size), on top of my crown. For years I wore my heavy, naturally curly hair half-up (like for 20 years) with a clip and wondered if that daily pressure may have caused it.
I asked my GP and he said it was a blocked sebaceous gland. I have noticed that the "fullness" of them tends to fluctuated with my cycles, so I imagine the oil production that is associated with hormone shifts affects them too. When I went on BCP (Yaz) they shrunk and were totally unnoticeable.
Now that I have been off BCP for 3 cycles I can feel the larger one coming back. My doctor said they're nothing to worry about and I can have them removed if they really bug me. That would require shaving my head, so yeah....no.
