Suggest Treatment For Constant Painful Bump On Top Of Head

I had a soft spot on top of my head that hurt when I touched it and would cause a slight headache. The soft spot has now changed into a small bump about the size of the end of my pinky finger. This spot now hurts constantly, especially if I touch it.

General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted your history of a spot on the head that hurts on touching.
This is most probably due to infected sebaceous cyst as this is the commonest reason if there is no other history like trauma or so.
Another reason can an infected hematoma.
I would suggest you to see a Doctor for clinical examinations and proper treatment may be with an antibiotic, anti-inflammatory and supportive treatment.
If advised go for incision and drainage to get a confirmed diagnosis and treatment.
I find this answer helpful
