Lump In Head, Painful, Dizziness, Mood Swings. Mental Disorder Or Tumor?

Hello, i m 18 and i have a small lump on my head, it hurts a lot and my head hurts... i feel faint and dizzy and the feeling comes and goes. Also, i m quite irritable and depressed and for a while my mood has been changing from happiness to sadness literally over night. I don t know if i have a mental disorder (possibly bi polar) or if i have a tumor . Thankyou.

Hi.The swelling which you are feeling on your head may be a Cystic one,most probably Sebaceous cyst.If it gets infected,you will feel the pain.Get it excised first.It is not a cancer.Nothing to worry.Once you get the swelling removed,all the above symptoms will be subsided.All the best
