I have what feels like a knot at the base of my head. Its a lump and it hurts. The pain starts from just below my left ear. So if I lean my head towards my left shoulder it causes a deep pain. Ive never had this kind of pain and it worries me because its been more than 2 weeks now and feels weird when I massage it. It gives me a headache and feels like it pulses when I put pressure to it no matter what position. Motrin has got me thru the days but should I be worried? What can this be?
Hi,1-Dear,the lump at left side of the base of the head-is most probably -slow growing abscess,2-I would have checked mastoid and left ear, besides any boil-as the reason for it, your doctor would help you out in this.,3-You already lost 2 was, with painful massages.4-I would advise going to surgeon in your area and take the right treatment-by Chat Doctor. 5-I would rule out the possibility of any tumor related with the vessels-near the left base of the head.6-Motrin is for temporary relief and I would advise you to take the advice for further urgent care of the problem. Thnks. If any more queries, I would love to answer it. Wellcome
