What Causes Soreness With Bump At The Back Of Head?

I ve noticed every now and then the back of my head feels sore, like i hit it. When i go to touch the soar area there is a small bump. After about a day or two, it goes away. I ve noticed that when this does occur its usually around a time when I ve had alittle too much to drink. Do you think this is related to alcohol? I have had two falls to back of the head over the course of my life, nothing that took me to the hospital, but definately accidents that left a goose bump there for awhile. Do you think there s connection to that also?

General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi and welcome to Healthcaremagic. Thank you for your query. I am Dr. Rommstein and I will try to help you as much as I can.

I dont htink this is related to alcohol since alcohol cant affect soft tissues on this way. It may be related to the hit if this was at this area and then so called traumatic fibroma may occur. However it sounds to me more like some subcutaneous lipoma or atheroma and you should see surgeon for further evaluation or you can do ultrasound with needle biopsy. In every case it doesnt sound serious to me.

I hope I have answered you query. If you have any further questions you can contact us.
Kindly regards. Wish you a good health.
