What Is The Treatment For A Large Lump On The Left Side Of The Head?
I have a large (nickel sized) "knot' or lump on the left side of the base of my head. I noticed it about a week ago and it has not gone away. It doesn't hurt, more like it is tender. i am 34 yrs old, 5'9 and 130 lbs, exercise regularly and am healthy with the exception of occasional migraines. What could this be and should I call my dictor asap?

Hi, Thanks for your querry .I opine as follows-
a-it could be lymhadenitis due to scalp infection.
b- yes you needto consult your doctor.But its not related with your migraine.
c-its only for a week .So I advise antibiotics for scalp infection and other causes to be ruled out for that skull base lump.
Hope this resolves your issue.
