Answers:
I had one also just a couple of weeks ago!. It was at the base of my skull on the left side!. My husband is a RN and I just had him keep a check on it!. He said he thought it was a lymph node!. It never came to a head so it wasn't a boil or anything!. It only hurt when I laid on it or touched it!. It took about a week, but it went away!. I didn't understand it because I wasn't feeling sick in any other way!. If the pain isn't excruciating, then I would wait about a week, and then if it's still there then go see the doc!.

It could be a simple cyst!.

If it is on the side of your head towards the neck, it could be a lymph node!. This could signify an infection that is higher than the node, like ears, throat, teeth etc!.

Either way you need to see your Doctor for a true diagnosis!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
