Try taking motrin,: Apply ice packs for first two days then warm packs, apply neosporin and vaseline. Follow up with ur dr if it gets infected. Take care!

I have a bump on the back of my head. The swelling has gone down with some heat and essential oils, but the pain is still there. The pain is now; the back of my head, my right ear and down my jaw line. Why is it moving? Should I be more concerned?
