I have had a severe headache on the left side of my head including left ear and left side of neck for about a week now. I had a lump on the left side of my head which now I have several other small lumps on my had that really itch. I'm thinking I have shingles also but the A I seen on Friday said it looked like a bug bite that was inflamed and put me on a steroid for 6 days. I then went to the ER today, Sunday and they gave me Vivienne for pain which did very little to relieve the pain.Butv they did do a cat scan per my request because I'm on a daily blood thinner. Thank God it came back negative! So now I have to go back to my doctor's office to really try and find out what is going on. But I still think it's shingles.any replies would be great.

Shockingly enough I was having the same issues and today I had gone to my neurosurgeon appt as I pushed my family dr to send in a referral. I was in a car accident almost 10 years ago, had noticed a slight limp on my temple but it never really bothered me until recently. I have had headaches so bad that it's taken me completely out over them. I've found using ice packs on the area semi helps ease it. But long story short I saw the neurosurgeon as I said, he believes it is a dermoid cyst, which in most cases happen to children but can rarely occur to adults. He is ordering a ct scan to confirm. Once that is complete then we would follow with a small surgery to remove the cyst. My family doctor insisted it's only migraines and I feel otherwise so I'm glad I pushed for further follow up with a specialist. I suggest you all do the same.

I have checked in net i have got these answer.
There are many different conditions that cause a lump to appear on the head which we have listed for you below, however these are not commonly accompanied by a headache.
Skin Cysts- These can appear anywhere on the body and are little pockets of tissue under the skin that become filled with pus, fluid or skin matter as a result of infection or due to the sebaceous gland becoming blocked. The appearance of these are generally smooth to touch and painless and develop over a gradual period of time. These cysts are generally treated by draining of the cyst or by the use of antibacterial creams or lotions. These are usually not cancerous.
Sebaceous Cyst- This is where a cyst develops by a hair follicle. These are often painful on touch and a dark area is visible on the skin surface. Treatment often involves antibiotic creams and removal of the cyst to prevent it returning. Discharge from these cysts often have the appearance of a cheesy white fluid.
Folliculitis- This is inflammation of the follicles due to infection or chemical reaction and is quite common on the face. The area affected is usually red in appearance and pimple like and may include hairs in the centre of the pimple. The skin around the area may also be itchy. Treatment usually involves using antibiotics and antifungal medications but maintaining good hygiene and reducing chemical use eg hair gels, can help too.
Lipomas- This is where there is a fatty deposit under the skin. These are smooth to touch and are harmless and generally do not need treating.
Melanoma- This is a type of skin cancer. The appearance of this is usually the presence of a new mole or the changing of appearance in a pre existing mole. These are usually irregular in shape, multi coloured, can bleed easily and be itchy.
Non- Melanoma Skin Cancer- This is where there is a lump or area of skin which is sore and fails to heal. The lump tends to grow and often becomes scaly and can become ulcerated and bleed easily.
