What Causes Painful Hard Lumps On The Side Of Head?
My husband has had a hard lump on the right side of his head( a couple of inches above his ear) it has been there for a couple of weeks, it almost feels like a bone under his skin. He went to the doctor on Monday and was given a course of antibiotics (7days) with instructions to go back and see him in 3-4 day if the lump is still there. Today he noticed another lump the same just below it more painful and bigger then the first. I have made him another appointment for tomorrow morning.
