What Causes Lump And Scab On Head?
I have a hard non movable lump on the left side of my head about 2-3 inches from my ear. I also have a scab on the top on my head that I accidentally picked off while bruising my hair that s sore now. I m guessing I got a bug bite or something that caused the scab on top can the two be related? I never noticed the hard lump on my head before.

Hi,
It seems that there might be having enlarged lymph node behind your ear.
This can be due to some scalp infection as you have just now.
You might require one antibiotic medicine course for 3-5 days.
Consult dermatologist and examined your scalp for nature of infection on the scalp.
Ok and take care.
