What Causes A Small Lump On The Right Side Of The Temple?

I have a small lump on the right side of my temple. It almost feels like the vein is sore and alightly swollen. My left temple is sore also, but there is no swelling. I have not hit my head recently. The discomfort has been going on for about four days.Do you have any idea what this could be?

Hi,Good Evening.Thanks for the query to HCM.I studied it in depth and I understood your health concerns.
-Treatment-for-sore Temporal-lump-
1- Mostly it appears to be -Temporal Arteritis with Tender Temporal muscles -due to associated anxiety -spasm.
2-Temporal arteritis is diagnosed by Arterial biopsy-where-Giant Cell arteritis is confirmed by HPR.
3-Diabetes with Hypertension ? Intracranial Hypertension with Papillowedema may be causal factors in some cases and needs to be ruled out by Physicians / Eye doctor / and Neuro doctor.
4-Discomfort is for 4 days -and hence MRI of the skull and eye check up with Arterial biopsy would fix the diagnosis of temporal arteritis in your case.
Dont get scared and uneasy,but be cautious and act fast.
Hope this would help you a lot to relieve the arteritis pain soon.
Wish you fast recovery-and healthy life.
Wellcome to HCM with more queries till you are satisfied.
Have a Good Day...!!
