Swollen, Tender Lump On Head, Doesn't Move, Painful To Touch. Feel Pressure While Turning Head. Remedy?
Hi, I have this bulge about an inch large with a small lump just below it on the left side of my head about an inch away from my ear. It is swollen and tender to the touch. It feels mushy kind of. It does not move when I try to move it like a regular lymph node might do. It is very painful to touch it and when I try to turn my head to the right, it feels like the stretching of my skin is putting pressure on it. What do u think?

Hi,
From history it appears that you might be having infected sebaceous cyst giving rise this problem.
Consult surgeon and get examined.
If cyst is there, it is to be excised with sac to have parmenent relief.
Ok and take care.
