What Causes A Lump At The Back Of Head?

My husband has a lump on the back of his head that just randomly appeared today it doesn t hurt him but he has been recently getting headaches more often, it is above the hairline on the bottom left, it is about the size of a walnut and can move around if pushed it s very soft and if squeezed a red dot shows in the middle of it, what could this be?

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You may have some benign cystic lesion like sebaceous cyst or dermoid cyst. Or you may have some some skin adenexal tumor. You should go for fine needle aspiration cytology. Then you should take treatment according to your diagnosis. Excision is the treatment of choice for most of benign lesion. Consult your doctor and take treatment accordingly.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
