What Causes Lump Above Spine And Below Hairline?

Hello. A couple of months ago I noticed a large lump on my back, at the top of my spine and inch or two below my hairline, pretty much center line. It was almost swollen at first, and thought perhaps I was bitten by a bug. After a while it got smaller, and then it got bigger to its original size again, and I flirted with the possibility that it was just a stress knot. I ve never had a stress knot, but heard they re common. The lump is still there, a few months later, not really any bigger, but is hard as a bone. I m curious your thoughts on what this could possibly be? I ll be heading to the doctor this week to check out it, but felt the need to reach out to someone tonight. Thanks for your help.
