I woke up this morning with a knot on the back of my head. It hurts to touch the knot but there is no redness or discoloration around the lump. I have been in bed all day with headache, nothing seems to help. The pain is intensifying should I go to emergency or can I wait until morning to go have it checked out?
Hi, Reviewed your query. The lump on your back of head, is mostly a bug bite or a fur uncle / boil, as it hurts to touch. A perifollicular cellulitis with Fur uncle may cause such intensifying pain especially when its growing and expanding stage due to acute infection. If Tab Motrin 400 MGM is taken, pain and inflammation with it would reduce. Still I would advise you to have a check-up from your doctor to get the worry ruled out by a direct physical check up. Hope this would relive your query satisfactorily. Write excellent review and hit thanks if this has helped to resolve your issue. Welcome again further for any query in this regard. Have a good day.
