Last year I had three sebaceous cysts removed and she has another few really small ones. I am not worried about them.</div><div><br></div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px; font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal;">However, she has a different sort of lump on her head. It appeared on, or close to, the site of a tick which I removed about six weeks ago and may be completely unrelated. The lump is hard, grey and about the size of a match head. It has grown very slightly in the five weeks since I noticed it.</div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px; font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal;"><br></div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size:

Should I worry and take her to the vet? Cash is a little stretched at the moment, but I will take her if people think it may be necessary.</div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px; font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal;"><br></div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px; font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif;
