Should I Be Concerned For Lump Below Skull?

after a visit to dentist yesterday and concern I have an infeciton somewhere, I noticed a small hard lump while shampooing my hair this morning. It is just below my skull about 1-1.5 in. to the left of spine. It is tender but no significant pain. Should i be more concerned or is this a gland or something?
