Good day. Yes, Interferon can cause thyroid hormone disturbances. However, it is important to examine the lesion in head before we can comment further. As it is tender, I strongly suggest you to meet your GP who can examine you further and advice investigations. Did you check your Thyroid hormone levels? Regards Binu
