What Causes An Swelling On Lower Back Skull?
I appear to have an odd swell on the lower back right of my skull. Each time I press on it, it creates a brief odd taste in my mouth and makes me dizzy. Could this be anything neurologically wrong? I also had a tetanus shot on the 30th, and a Ct scan a couple days before that on my head.

A swelling on the outside of your skull should not be directly connected to your brain (which is inside the skull).
So, that by itself does not suggest a neurologic issue.
But if you are constantly getting dizzy, it would be helpful for your doctor to evaluate you further, check your bloodpressure, your bloodwork, and review your CT.
