A member asked:
Woke up and my occipital bone has a small dime size lump that hurts to touch ..having headaches and neck pain ?

Possibly lymph node: This could be from an insect bite, a lymph node or a small abscess in a hair follicle. Apply heat and give it a couple of days. If it doesn't go away, or gets worse, have a doctor take a look.
