What do you think the diagnosis is? |
My friend felt a wierd pressure on the side of her head(specifically, 2 inches above her ear). She was tying her hair when she realized there was blood on her hands and the blood was coming from the same area where the pressure was. I have a feeling it might be a swollen vein or phlebitis. Phlebitis usually occurs in the legs, not the head. My suggestion would be if she is bleeing from the head to go and see the doctor AS SOON AS POSSIBLE! You may also find that it was just a "sore" that exploded whilst tying her hair up! I am no doctor but i really don't think it is cancer. it sounds like a cyst to me good luck |
