What could a large painful lump on back of head be caused by?


Posted by Kym

I have a large hard painful lump on back of my head on the lower right hand side.  Should I be concerned?

It could be a "wen", a cyst that sometimes forms as normal skin secretions get trapped. I remember removing one from my wife one time after Easter dinner at the table. I don't recommend that, but you should see someone about removing it (a minor surgical procedure).
