You need to get evaluated by a doctor promptly. Hepatitis C that is untreated can progress to liver cirrhosis. This can cause many of the symptoms you are describing. I am not sure what the lump on your head could be, but your doctor should take a look at it. There are some treatments that can help you feel better if advanced liver disease is found. Hepatitis C should also be treated if your liver is not yet badly damaged. If you don't have a regular doctor, go to an urgent care or emergency center. These are significant problems that you don't want to wait on. Hope this is helpful. Let me know if you have further questions.
