Painful bumps on the back of my head

Asked Mar 24, 2008, 07:52 PM — 3 Answers
I first noticed a hard (quite large) bump behind my right ear two nights ago with a small one right below it, neither of them painful. Last night I started having pain on the back of my head and felt some sizy lumps that hurt even more when I touched them. It's worrying me a little bit because there are more there tonight than there were yesterday. Has anyone ever had this? Someone said that it could be swollen lymph nodes, but I haven't been sick in the past few weeks and I don't have any cuts or pimples anywhere on my head that might cause this. I've also been having some pain behind my right eye but only when I look far to my right or to my left, not when just sitting normal. Any information would be appreciated.

Sounds like you need to go to the doc asap
If they are multiplying at that rate and up in your eye area it DOESN'T sound like it is something simple like a cyst or something.

This could be a lot of things, since your bumps are painful I would say that it is an infection the problem is that we don't know where it is, it can be cause by an ear or throat infection, most of them are benign (viruses), if it doesn't disappear in one week you should seek some medical attention just to be in the safe side.
Good Luck
