Hi, I ve just felt a lump at the back of my head, It s tender to touch. I feel like it s literally just appeared. I also have a skin type lump higher up on my scalp - I ve noticed it yesterday. This new one feels different to the other one. I have been diagnosed with Seborrhoeic dermatitis in the past.

Hi,
It seems that there might be having some infection in the scalp like seborrhic dermatitis, dandruff or fungal infection.
This might give rise enlarged lymph nodes in occipital region.
Consult your doctor and get examined.
Go for treatment according to lesion in the scalp.
Ok and take care.
