Lumps on head

i have noticed 2/3 lumps on my scalp and they are tender to touch and they’re giving me headaches. 

I reacently went to the doctors and they told me to take paracetamol. They don’t actually know what it is and and think it’s swollen lymph nodes, but some of the lumps are in places that don’t have lymph nodes there. 

I am quite conserned that they only told me to take paracetamol because they don’t help with the pain never mind the lumps. 

  • Hi Brit30

    Sorry to hear that you've got some lumps that are causing you concern. 

    There could be lots of reasons for these lumps on your scalp but if they are continuing to worry you then do go back to see your GP.  If you're not happy with the information that you were given in your last appointment then it may be possible to see another Dr in the surgery. 

    I hope that the matter is resolved soon. 

    Best wishes,
