General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Welcome at HCM
I have gone through your query and being your physician i completely understand your health concerns.
what is ur age? For how long u are suffering from it? Any other associated problem? like diabetes or hypertension? Any history of TB in past or exposure to TB? Are u running fever? Any other lymph node swelling in ur body?
it is not possible to diagnose without actually examining the patient. probable diagnosis are lipoma , sebaceous cyst etc.
you should meet your doctor so that u can be properly examined and investigated. you may need to get an Xray of the skull to see its any intracranial extensions
meet your SUGREON for proper management.
Meanwhile stay calm and use acetaminophen to relieve pain
Get well soon
Hope your query is adequately addressed if you still have any feel free to ask
Regards
