What Does Pain And Tenderness On The Scalp Indicate?
Hi. I have chronic b cell lymphatic leukemia- mild. Recently have developed a lump on neck below right ear (lymph node?). Painful to the touch just below the year. Scalp on right side is tender. Thoughts on what is creating this, is there some urgency to see my Physician. Thank you.
