i've got sore bump on head

[southeastastra]

i've had it a week or so at the back. haven't banged it but it hurts like a bruise.

any ideas what it is?

sebaceous cyst ?

oh don't know sounds horrible! i'll google it

i have this quite often, no bump though, just the bruised feeling

i'm not sure there is a bump, or if that's just part of my bumpy head iykwim!

it's sore isn't it loopy! i can't lie down to watch telly .

too scared to see dr

have u had your hair tied tightly back? or even just tied back?

I had this too last week, sore to touch and lie down. It went after a few days so I assume it was some sort of boil or hair folicle, my hair had been quite sweaty the day before.

haven't had it tied back. maybe it's just a blocked thingy, feels like someone's whacked me on the head though

Where abouts is it? Is it on the bony sticky out part low down near the neck?
If it is, then I think theres a pair of glanda there that can swell if they are fighting an infection. I sometimes get that in one gland if my scalp psoriasis is flaring.

yes it is! that's what it must be then, i've had a cough this week. it seems to hurt down my neck a bit too. thanks bk

You're welcome, I'm glad nobody has been secretly whacking you on the head! Hope you feel better soon.
