What Does Bump On Back Of Head Indicate?
I noticed a bump on the back of my head when i woke up this morning. It doesn't give me constant pain but i have had a migrane all day today. It hurts only when i apply pressure to it. It can't be seen but i can feel it and it's pretty big. Should I go into the doctor or what could this be?

Hi,
This is likely to be a sebaceous cyst. It is common to find them on the head. If it is painful then you should have it examined as it may be infected. In which case you will need a course of antibiotics.
