What Could A Lump On The Head Be?

Hi, I have a hard/swollen bump or lump on my head. It is at the same level as the top of my right ear, but an inch away from it. It is tender to the touch and I noticed it for the first time yesterday. It doesn t move at all when massaged or touched. I am pregnant and have been having headaches and migraines pretty regularly. Before I was pregnant I would get headaches as well. What could the lump be? Should I be worried? At first I thought it might be a zit in the formation, but today I don t feel like that anymore.

Hello dear,
I understand your concerns.Hard lump on the head,which is tender and fixed must be evaluated by a general surgeon.As far as your pregnancy,migraine and headache are concerned,these entities are possibly not the reason for this lump.I hope it helps.
