Small Pea Size Knots On The Lower Right Side Of My Head. Having Headaches. Is This Something I Have To Be Worried About?

I have three uthe two of them are a little red and hurt real bad the other one does not hurt not even to the touch. I have been having headaches through out the day and my right side hurts I have knee problems especially on my right and fibromyalgia. I am diabetic with high blood pressure. I notice these knots earlier this week when washing my hair when I touch them they hurt. Now after a few days I don't have to touch them they still hurt. I notice that my neck hurts more now and my whole right side fees numb sometimes now! Pain killers do not help should I see my doctor or go to the emergency?

Hello.A possible diagnose-in function of the location and size- for knots is lymphadenopathy(increased lymph node size).Lymph node increase in size when there is a near infection and may persist after resolving the infection. Other possible diagnose-in function of the location and redness-is sebaceous cyst infection.
In Lowe right of side of head frequently forming cysts may be infected.
Initially your pathogy,without fever or other symptoms,is evaluated for
primary care doctor but as you are diabetic, the possibility of another pathologies or pathology complications is highest;consequently I advice you go to emergency service to examine you.
I wish you good health.
