Hi! We often get patients with small, growing, sore and hard to touch lump on top of head recently increasing in size etc. etc... just as you mentioned your lump! And pain means infection / inflammation! Hardness means resolution stage of infection leading to dormant inflammation....! Therefore, putting everything together, I must conclude, according to my experience that this one could be an infected sebaceous cyst or a skin adnexal tumor! A simple 2-minutes needle biopsy is the best method to confirm it as it could be a thing for concern!Therefore, see your physician today for a clinical examination and discuss the diagnosis and possible line of treatment. Regards,
