Feeling Lump On The Back Of The Head. Feels Tender To Touch. Concerned?

Thanks for posting your query.
The lump at the back of your head that is painful is likely to be due to an injury or a hematoma formation. If there is no definitive history of injury, then infective causes like abscess, lymph node swelling, sebaceous cyst, etc need to be considered.
This needs a direct examination to find out the cause. Till then you can start taking a mild pain killer and do a hot fomentation in the area for relief. Systemic antibiotics may be needed to control the infection in the area.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Please accept my answer in case you do not have further queries.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
Dr. Praveen Tayal.
