Hello.

A mass on your brain with extension to your scalp can only be one of two things: either infection from your sinuses which formed pus in the brain and on the scalp.
Or a tumour of the lining of the brain which has extended through the skull.
Regardless of which of these it is, you need to go for the biopsy. Do not delay with a mass on the brain.

All the best.
