Hi,Dear,Welcome to HCM. Based on the facts of your query,You seem to suffer from-Lump due to perifolliculitis with cellulitis ,giving painful hard lump in formation,which overnight reduced down to bump with pin pointed pain too-suggesting the developing or maturing Furunculitis of the scalp hair.
Second Opinion from Surgeon with Surgical Drainage would resolve the bump issue-forming abcess with boil.
