Lump in back of head, increasing in size during stress. Cure for symptoms?
Patient: Hi I have a lump in the back of my head behind my right ear for 10 months. Sometimes I feel aching pain in it but it doesn't hurt. Its the size of a quarter. There is no abnormal shape or no discoloration. Every time I stress it get as big as a quarter when im not stressing it gets as small as a nickel.  I dont have any signs or symptom of infection. What could this be. Doctor: Hi, you have a lump on the head behind the right ear. since 10 months.                                It appears to be the dermoid cyst, or lipoma, it wont do any harm, if it is growing very big you can consult a surgeon for removal. If you want to get it removed now it self you can get it removed with out any risk. Thank you.
