What Causes Lump On Head?

Hi Doctor, I have a small lump around 1 - 2 cm in diameter at the back of my head on the left side, level with the bottom of my ear lobe and about 2 inches across. Its hard to the touch and does not appear to move. I also have pins and needles in my Left shoulder/arm

hello,
welcome to HCM
i think your lump is a sebaceous cyst.nothing to worry about.consult a surgeon and go for excision.it is a benign lump.
your pin and needle sensation have no relation with the lump if the position of the lump you have mentioned is correct.it is hopefully due to degenerative lesion in cervical vertebrae.
hope this is helpful.
regards.
I find this answer helpful
