A member asked:

Hard lump on top of head, not an ingrown hair or lymph nodes. hurts like a bad bruise, had for 2+ yrs chronic migraines/motion sick, unsure if related?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Follow up needed : Hard lump on top of head could be a cyst, you need to have io looked at by a Physician. Specially if it is causing you pain. It is not related to the migraine headaches.
