What Causes A Painful Lump On The Skull?
What causes painful lumps on the skull. I know this sounds strange, it is. But they stay a couple of days go away, but always there are more lumps else wear. It has been going on for more than a year and I have seen a neurologist who specialises in head pain.

Hello,
Your symptoms seem to be related to a furuncle.
It is an infection of the hair follicle.
I suggest you maintain good hygiene.
I also suggest using an antibiotic cream for local application.
For the pain, you can use an anti-inflammatory medication such as Ibuprofen.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care

Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
