I was working three days strait when it came had lack of sleep and maybe immune system was down . What could it be?

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. Hard lump on your head can be dermoid cyst, lipoma or some skin adenexal tumour. You should go for biopsy and histopathological examination of that lump. Then you should take treatment accordin to diagnosis.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
