What Causes Lumps At The Back Of The Skull?

over the past 6 months I have developed several raised knots on the back of my skull. They hurt at night when I sleep and wake me up. I am a back sleeper so my sleep is constantly being disturbed. I have consulted both my primary care physician and my arthritic doctor. Neither have any idea as to what the cause is or what doctor I might consult for help with this problem. What type of doctor shuold i consullt?
