i woke up with a sore lump that is raised on the back of my head near my neck hairline and it hurts even when im not touching it. i cant see the mark due to my hair being in the way. was i bitten by a spider? im very emotional all of a sudden, not sure if it is just because im scared or what. it also takes me a minute to actually focus on things and i feel at times like i am going to pass out.
Welcome to Chat Doctor. 1. The possible cause could be infective etiology - infected hair follicle with collection of pus within.2.Don't have to worry much, and it will not make you pass out. Relax.3. In this case as a remedy - maintain local hygiene, clean the area with antiseptic liquid. Do not squeeze or scratch the area / lump as it will complicate.4. And a course of antibiotic will help in this case.5. Get an appointment and let get examined and medication as needed. Good luck. Hope I have answered your query.Anything to ask do not hesitate. Thank you.
