It may be an occipital lymph node draining the scalp. These will enlarge with infections of the scalp usually. It is best to see your primary care physician to determine its significance.
Some lymph node swelling can be serious.

Question 4

I have a medium lump under end of my jaw. it doesn't hurt. i can feel it only when i tilt my head down. it feels like a hard ball and moveable. help!

Accepted Answer

What you described suggests an enlarged lymph node due to inflammation in the mouth. You may feel the node every couple of weeks, if the lymph gland doubles in size, becomes painful, ulcerates, or other nodes become enlarged, or you develop fever, or lose weight, you should see a doctor.
Wish you good health! - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Drink enough water daily, so that your urine is mostly colorless. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. 
Practice safe sex, if you have sex.

Question 5

I've noticed a lump on the back of my head towards the left. it is not moveable and it is hard. iv'e also been experiencing headaches.

Accepted Answer

cysts are frequent there, probably not related to your headache

Question 6

I have a  1cm non painful moveable firm lump in the occipital bone region on the right side of head it doesn't hurt don't know what it is any advice?

Accepted Answer

It could be a benign fat tumor called a lipoma.  The may get quite large and can be surgically removed.  You should go to your primary care doctor to be examined to make sure it is nothing more severe.  Infected lymph nodes can present similarly but are painful generally.

Question 7

I have a large pea sized lump on my head. it does not hurt, it is not hard and it is moveable. i have had two drs look at it both saying it is a sebac?

Accepted Answer

Sebaceous cysts on the scalp can present like pea-sized lumps.  These are harmless, but if causing problems can be removed with a simple in-office procedure.  A cyst may be your doctors' best guess, but the only way to know for sure is to have it removed and analyzed by a pathologist.

Question 8

Son 12 yr old has 2 smallish lumps identicle to each other on the back of his head? only slightly painfull when pressed down hard. they are no more than 1cm they feel hard not really moveable?

Accepted Answer

With a little time ; effort most people can be taught to feel the small, non-tender pea sized lymph nodes in your neck. In that location they are often next to firm muscle ; not buried in soft tissues like they are in most of the body. If they become tender ; grow larger, they are reacting to something ; may need to be evaluated.Most benign nodes swell ; shrink over a 3wk cycle.

Question 9

Got a lump/bump in the right hand side of my neck, more towards top. it's quite hard but moveable+shows up more when i lift head up. any advice?

Accepted Answer

Likely a lymph node or a cyst.  If persists without other symptoms for over a week, see an MD.  If feeling ill, see a doctor sooner.

Question 10

Are there lymph nodes in lower back, near the pelvis and spine? i feel a moveable lump under skin surface - not visible to the naked eye.

Accepted Answer

Sounds like you palpated a lipoma or benign fatty tumor( non- cancerous). Unlikely area for lymph nodes. See your pcp for evaluation. Best of luck!
