Hello!
I read your question carefully and understand your concern.
The lump on your head may be related to different disorders affecting the scalp, the soft surrounding tissues or the meninges ( brain layers).
It may be an inflammation, an infection or a tumor. The sweating is indicative for a probable infection disease.
I would recommend you to consult with your GP, have a careful physical examination , routine blood tests for inflammation or infection and a scull Xray.
A brain CT scan may be necessary to examine the lesion better. Biopsy may be needed to establish the diagnosis.
Hope to have been helpful!
