What Causes Pocket Of Fluid In Between Skull And Skin?

I have had headaches for the past 2 years, no medications have helped. I now have a pocket of fluid in between my skull and skin,( about the size of a silver dollar.. it is hot to the touch and is in the same place that I have had the headaches. When I wake up in the morning, my face feels tingly and some what numb. Should I be concerned? What do you think it is?

Hi,

If it is hot to touch, chances of infection are there in the fluid pocket. The fluid should be tested by needle aspiration.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
