What can I feel in scalp?

3 weeks ago I started to feel ill and had what I can only describe as sore/swollen glands in my armpits. I was exhausted and completely wiped out.

I was given antibiotics incase of infection, they have worked and armpits are fine but I’m still wiped out, tired, heavy headaches but not persistent, I just want to go to bed a lot of the time.

At the same time as the glands in my armpit area, I developed a small bulge on the left hand side of my head, near the top of my head. Doc told me to finish antibiotics and if it’s still there to come back. It is still there, it feels tender but nothing is visible. Anyone with experience of this? I’m more than likely looking far too much into it!

Have a Google of pilar cysts and see if anything sounds familiar. Hopefully it’s a coincidental occurrence of one of these!

The bulge thing is below my skin at the moment, it may well grow out the way though.

Could it be glandular fever?
