Question 4

can you give any insight on an under the skin, dime sized lump that moved from the bottom left side of neck to the bottom right side of head near brai?

Accepted Answer

Moving lump: Can you give any insight on an under the skin, dime sized lump that moved from the bottom left side of neck to the bottom right side of head near brai? ANS: you did not mention if you have been in Africa recently where they have those worms that crawl under your skin?  Assuming not this is a very strange lump. I would see what your Dr. says. Suspect it is not moving just 2 different ones.

Question 5

hit my temple really hard a week ago goose egg was gone first day but still have hard lump on temple and jaw and side of head still very sore?

Accepted Answer

Contusion of muscle: It sounds like the trauma struck the temporalis muscle.  This muscle is one of the muscles that helps the jaw open and close.  From your description, it sounds like the trauma produced bleeding within the muscle and now you have a contusion or bruising of the muscle.  You might develop headaches and difficulty chewing.  Warm moist soaks to the temple region can help to dissolve the internal bruise

Question 6

i have had a dime size lump on right side of head above ear for three months, it is very itchy and red looking. should it be looked at ?

Accepted Answer

Yes: This could be an infection or benign or more rare, a cancerous lesion. See a head and neck doctor.

Question 7

hard lump forming on side of head above right ear two days ago, hurts to touch/lay on, cause some headache and hurts to open jaw all the way.

Accepted Answer

Infection?: I would worry that you have folliculitis or an abscess in your scalp. This is probably a difficult area for you to see, but if it is red, warm, and painful, it could be infected. In this case, a health provider needs to see if it requires drainage and/or if you need antibiotics. I would recommend seeing a health provider soon.

Question 8

i have small & soft painless lumps in my back side of head?

Accepted Answer

Cysts?: They are probably what we call sebaceous cysts that are common. To be very sure have your physician examine you.

Question 9

hi , pain in the right side of head , bump / lump and it's pain full and can feel lump when i touch it ?

Accepted Answer

Exam: I suggest a medical examination to determine the severity of the injury and for a physical assessment.

Question 10

i am a 20 and a female with a lump on the lower right side of head. its been here as long as i can remember. hurts when i press it.

Accepted Answer

Lesion: could be a sebaceous cyst vs lipoma both of which are benign.  I would  have your doctor exam you to make sure that is what this is
