What Does A Lump At The Base Of Skull Indicate?

I discovered yesterday a lump at the base of my skull on the right side. The lump is like one would get if I walked into a door or got hit in the head. It is painful in that spot and to the touch with sore muscle pain in shoulder and neck. I am a diabetic, but I think this i a lymph node swelling. What can I do to get rid of this lump and stop the pain

HI,Dear,Thanks for the inquisitive query to HCM.1-I studied your query in depth.2-In my opinion , this painful lump at your skull base is most probably -a lymphadenitis with infective pathology like boil in the scalp-as you are a known diabetic,which appears to be out of controll.3-I would advise you to consult physician who would check the CBC, fbs,pps,and would treat it with antibiotics and NSAIDs,3-a- if no relief, and the pain and swelling in the skull base increases,then sugeon would be needed to drain the infective focus , to get the disease and diabetes-under controll.4-Hope this would solve your query .5-Wellcome for more queries to me On HCM.6-Thnks once again for your inquisitive query.Have a Good Day..!!
