Brief Answer:
Consult the surgeon for exact diagnosis

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Welcome to HCM

It is difficult comment on the lump without examination. It would be better if you upload picture.

What was the diagnosis last time. Headache is less likely to be related to cyst. I would suggest you to consult the general surgeon for examination and exact diagnosis. Usually Sebaceous Cysts can occur at the mentioned site but it's less likely to be the cause of headache.

Take care.
