Lump? Causes fill textbooks. To guess without benefit of examination would be counter-productive. Your Physician may think it's an infection, thus the antibiotic. If antibiotic helps, source of infection has to be determined and eliminated. Consultation w a specialist Dermatologist may be in order.

6 days ago, standing on chair, fell. Butt hit floor first then head. Lumps on head still tender. Butt, no bruise, still hurts. Dull, some movements cause sharp pain. See doctor or give time to heal?
