lumps on head, no pain, there for years

[AnRiciaMur]

I have two lumps on my head, on a couple inches above my ear and the other a little higher than that.  They are hard, do not hurt, and have been there for at least several years, I'm still not sure when I first noticed them.  I always assumed they were harmless because they've been there so long but thought it couldn't hurt to ask what they are or if they're something I should get checked out.  i don't have insurance hence me stopping here first.  one lump's a wee bit smaller than a dime, the other about have the size.  thank you for any advice.

it could be a cyst sometime they can be painful sometimes they cant . id say try to get it looked at, sometimes silence ( no pain ) are the most dangerous .

I have several lumps on my head and have had them for some years... I had one taken of recently with minor surgery as it had gotten bigger and was bothering me a bit. They are cysts (I think they're called subaceous cyst). My doctor said they were harmless.

I have the same thing  except sometimes mine itches. Mine is above my ear. Doc told me its a syst. I have had it for about 10 yrs now.. still same size.. It dosent bother me much except sometimes the brush will go over it just the wrong way & it hurts for a second or so..
