Hello,

Pain at base of skull may be related to underlying muscle spasm or ligament sprain or strain. The lump on forehead seems to be of concern with soft tissue enlargement such as lipoma or sebaceous cyst.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
