Hi,
Welcome To Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your query regarding to your health.
According to your description, there are two possibilities of lump occurrence. (1) It is a simple tumor; (2) It might a sebaceous cyst. You don’t need to worry about any possibilities, but you should be conscious and go for consultation of surgeon for proper diagnosis and treatment. Because physical examination is very important in such cases.
As far as your headache is concerned, the reason might be because of any of above reasons. Other reasons of headache could be high blood pressure. So, go for check-up for blood pressure and eyes, too.
Hope this information will be helpful to resolve your query and further queries are always welcome. I will like to answer them also.
Wish you good health.
Take Care, Thank You.
