What Causes A Hard Painful Lump On Back Of The Head?
I'm a 44 year old female and I have had a small hard lump on the back of my head for a long time but never thought anything of it. I check it occassionally to see if it's still there and today I pressed on it and now I feel a headache coming on. Also, I do have frequent headaches.

Hi.
The hard lumps causing headaches is not common.
I would advise you to consult a Surgeon to get this checked-up clinically and undergo tests and CT scan according to the findings.
You may need special blood tests like alkaline phosphatase and x-ray of the pelvic bones to rule out a generalized disease which can cause a lump and headache.
