What Causes A Lump On The Neck With Headache?
I have a 10 year old daughter that has started complaining 5 days ago about of a lump on the back of her neck, it hurts when she looks up when we are trying to comb her hair and put it up in a ponytail. This morning she complained she had a headache & pain in her arms.

Hello ,
thank you for your question . The back of the head is common place for growing furuncolosis , which are infected hair foliculs . It can also be infected atheroma cyst. If you were my patient , i would suggest taking her to a general or pediatric surgeon for excision of the lump and hystopathology . If infection is present you should give her antibiotics .
Best regards
