What Could Hard Bump On Back Of Head Mean?
A bump on the back of my head appeared today. It's a few inches behind my left ear, about the size of a nickel, and hard. I don't feel fluids in there so I don't think I bumped my hear or anything. I have no idea what to think this is. It will be a week or so before I can get an appointment. Do I need to be worried?

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
You may have some enlarged posterior cervical lymphnode or soft tissue tumor or skin adenexal tumor.
You should go for fine needle aspiration cytology or biopsy of that lump.
It will give you exact diagnosis.
Then you should take treatment accordingly.
