My husband has had a hard lump on the right side of his head( a couple of inches above his ear) it has been there for a couple of weeks, it almost feels like a bone under his skin. He went to the doctor on Monday and was given a course of antibiotics (7days) with instructions to go back and see him in 3-4 day if the lump is still there. Today he noticed another lump the same just below it more painful and bigger then the first. I have made him another appointment for tomorrow morning.
Hi, dear. I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You may have some enlarged lymph node due to reactive hyperplasia.  Or you may have some benign soft tissue tumor or some skin adnexal tumor. You should go for fine needle aspiration cytology.  It will give perfect idea. Then you should take treatment accordingly. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Wish you a very good health.
