hi, i am a 27 year old female. i have a lump on the the lower left side of my head which hurt when i touch it. i think it comes and goes . last night while combing my hair i pressed it several times and now there is a constant headache which i could feel in my sleep too. i was wondering if i need to worry or not. also its not behind the ear but on the scalp itself. hope its not serious
HI, Dear Carson-Very Good Morning from India. Thanks for your query. I understand your concerns. I studied your query in depth.-I would advise you to just forget the obsession for this lump as it is simply an -infected boil, chronically present, and painful due to the trauma from combing presses, you did last night.-It's not serious, and you need not worry about it.-You just have to consult your ER doctor-who would treat it with-Tb NSAIDs, Antibiotics for 5 days if need be. Advise not to handle it repeatedly.-IF its chronic cyst-ER Surgeon would Excise and send for biopsy and treat it accordingly.-So forget obsession of lump in the head.-Hope this reliefs your worry-some query. Welcome for any more queries in time to come.
