Suggest Treatment For Painful Lump At The Base Of Skull
My friend got a large, almost golf ball sized lump at the base of the right side of the back of his head. It appeared overnight. It s very sore and tender to the touch. The pain is localized to that one spot. It doesn t appear red or bruised. He has no other symptoms, cols or flu like. Could this be a swollen lymph node or is this something more serious?

hi, thanks for writing to us'
the lymphnode swelling will always be small might be the size of a marble, but as your friend is suffering from a big sized lesion and that too overnight, is some thing which needs a immediate concern, kindly get it consulted by a local surgeon.
take care.
