What Causes A Lump To Appear Suddenly On The Back Of The Neck And On The Skull?
Hello. I have a nodule/lump about 1/8 - 1/4 inch wide that seems to be in my vein located about 2 inches below my skull on the back of my neck. It is tender to the touch. There is also a tender spot on my skull about 2 inches higher that is also tender to the touch. They seemed to have appeared overnight and have been there for 2 days. Any thoughts on what these could be? I did consider a swollen lymph node but I haven t been sick, other than my usual migraine headaches and allergies.

you did not mention your age and sex.
i think these lumps should be brought to medical attention as they could be lymph nodes or infection and even some more serious disease
kindly go for an FNAC test for confirmation
all the best!
