It's probably not cancer. That's probably a 1/1,000 chance. I have a "bump" like that, too. But, I know what mine is. It's just a 'swolen' gland. It runs in my family. There is a good chance that your 'bump' is the same thing.
When a gland is swolen like mine is, it is most of the time a permanent thing. I don't remember when I first found out that I had a swolen, but it was several years ago. And I still have it. If you're really worried about it, convince your mom to take you to the doctor.
The fact that it's hard makes me think it's a swolen gland. Mine is about the size of a nail head too. Don't be so afraid. If the bump gets alot bigger (it should grow with you, as glands do) then you might get worried, but not so soon. I don't know what color my 'bump' is, 'cause it is at the back of my neck, so I can't see it. It could be red. Who knows. Lol. Don't get so worked up. It's okay.

Well its not cancer because cancer is brown spots, Not red. As for the bump you might want to tell your mom how long you've had it for, if it hurts you really need to have it checked out.

It could be a sort of cyst- this is where a slight infection fills with fluid to form a lump. The head is apparently a fairly common place to get them. If it is a cyst then your doctor wil know exactly what to do- if it is fairly small then they'll probably leave it, or they may drain it if they feel the need.
