What Causes Painful Bump On Head?

Hello, I am a 22 year old female. I recently was feeling my head after washing my hair and realised that there was a lump on my head that felt bruised. I have not bumped my head on anything and since after finding it, I have had a couple of head aches. I m a little worried now as it had been a week and my head still feels sore. Please can someone give me some advice on what to do next? Thank you.

Hi,
From history it seems that you might be having some scalp skin infection like seborrhic dermatitis, dandruff or fungal infection.
After proper diagnosis, plan of treatment should be made.
Consult dermatologist and get clinically examined.
Ok and take care.
