Q: i have a painful bump on my head and i did not hit it what can it be?

: It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without additional history, and physical examination. It is likely to be an epidermal/sebaceous cyst. An other possibility is infection of hair follicles. You may see your doctor at your convenience.
