question: I have two hard lumps that are increasing in size and tenderness. The initial lump I notice about 4 months ago on the top, rear left side of my head. At first no one else could feel it but now it is more raised and about 1 inch by 2 inches. The second lump has appeared rapidly in the last 10 days at the top of left ear just beyond my hair line 1x1 inch. They are sore if medium to firm pressure is applied. In last couple of days the frequent headaches I have been getting seems to be localised to the left rear side of my head. I am not sure if me worrying is increasing my symptoms.
