What Causes Swollen Bump With Pain On Right Side Of Back Of Head?

I have a bump on right side of back of head. When it first swelled up there I had a sharp like ice pick stabbing pain go from back of head through brain to front of brain. I first thought something had bitten me. I have had it for about 8 months. It goes away and then swells back up with sharp pain shooting back though my brain. My doctor said it might be a tick bite. She did a lyme disease test and it was negitive. I pick at it because it feels as if there is something under the skin. I also have be having spells like my vision goes blurred and very weak spells when I have this pain. Like I am going to faint. Do you have any suggestions what it could be?

Hello,

There are conditions that may be transmitted by insects bite, such as viral and bacterial conditions, known as the tick bite fever.

Get an evaluation by your Doctor for these issues.

Blood tests also may be necessary if any serious infection is suspected.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
