What Is The Painful Lump On The Back Of My Head?
I have a lump on the back of my head which hurts after touching. I have tenderness on my neck as well. It hurts to lay on it. Lump is on left side of head in back. I found this lump on Monday. Then today I found a tick on my head. I went to an urgent care facility tonight and she is contributing it to the tick. Indicated it is toxins in my body from the tick and gave me an antibiotic. I m not sure the lump is from the tick since the lump is not where the tick was found

thanks for sharing your concern!
there is nothing to worry about this; it is nothing but aN INFECTED sebaceous/dermoid cyst and well, could be infection of the hair follicle also!
for confirmation an FNAC test is useful in such cases!
