A member asked:

I have a bump on the lower left side of my head thats hurts and is causing me to have a headache. what could that be?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Lymph node: The most likely answer is a swollen lymph node. Acne at the hair line or an upper respiratory infection can cause the lymph nodes at the base of the skull and neck to capture infection and swell. The surrounding neck muscles that insert into the skull spasm due to the swollen lymph node and cause tension headaches. If the symptoms persist then see your medical doctor.
