What Causes Overnight Appearance Of A Knot On The Head?
Every few weeks, I'll wake up with a knot on the right side of my head. It's very sensitive to the touch and it usually goes away in about 2 weeks. It feels and looks like I banged my head on something, but it always appears overnight. The worse one went from a bump/knot to a bruise that scabbed up, They're usually no bigger than a quarter. Should I make an appointment to see a professional about this?

Well come to HCM
Thank for asking and your concern being appreciated, this could be tension headache, although migraine attack is very less likely, most of the time such headache is functional and may not be due to any cerebral pathology, still it can not be taken as granted and I would advise to see the neurophysician it may required ct brain and other routine till then you can try Tab Carbamazepine 100 mg at bed time some time this may helps you hope this information helps.
