What Causes Lump In The Back Of Head?
Should I be worried if I feel a lump in the back of my head, sort of right above the fold of my head and neck? And what does it mean when you get random bruises on you that don't hurt? I'm 18, I weigh 132lbs. and I'm 5'10". I've had strep throat four times and I've had the chicken pox when I was 3.

Hi,
The lump is likely to be a sebaceous cyst. This is not a serious problem and they do not usually need any treatment.
