What Causes Tender Lumps On Head?
I have had several sudden unexplained lumps appear on my head. This started a few days ago. The lumps are tender. They start small and within hours it can become the size of the palm of my hand. They seem to disappear as they expand. Edema is also present for a short time over the swollen area. Can you let me know what some possibilities could be? Thanks

Hi,
From history it seems that this might be due to some allergic manifestation due to some allergy or some scalp infection like fungal infection, dermatitis or dandruff.
This can be due to some chemicals used as shampoo, conditioner or head bath lotion.
Try to find out the cause and avoid it.
Take Cetrizine or Levo-cetrizineor Benadryl for 2-3 days.
Ok and take care.
