What Causes Painful Bumps On The Back Of My Head?

Are there other ways to get painful bumps on the back of my head, that from hitting it? I have a couple painful bumps on the back of my head, that feel just like the bumps you get when you bonk your head, but a little more painful perhaps. Yet, I don t remember hitting my head. Could it be something else?

Dermatologist 's  Response
Painful bumps could be due to infection of your hair follicle. You should take oral antibiotic like amoxicillin clavulanic acid combination for 7 days and serratiopeptidase aceclofenac combination for 3 days along with topical fusidic acid twice daily for 7 days.
