Q: Fatty bump on the back of my head

Okay so the fatty lump on the back of my has not gone away but has not got any bigger. It dosen't hurt at all and I don't know it is there unless I touch it. Now people say it can be a swollen lymph node but is soft and I can move it back and forth and when I tuck my chin into my neck it is almost gone. If I take the hair around it and pull it tight it goes away. So does anyone have any Ideas? I have no insurance I am sure I can go to the ER but I don't want to be in debt for the rest of my life unless I have to.

Now I have a broken wisdom tooth which on my right side gives me so many problem like a headache on my right side. I know wisdom teeth can effect lots of things but could it do this? I am scared I might have cancer or a tumor I freak over everything I found this lump on the 16th. I am stuffed up and my ears feel if they are draining but I am not sure if that has anything to do with it. I feel no other swollen lymph nodes anywhere. Should I worry and go to the ER or should I wait it out to see what happends and if any other things pop up? Could i t be cancer?

HI
Hi and welsome to eHealth. You do have some problems that need addresing. You need to have the wisdom tooth that is broken taken out. As for this mysterious lump, please see a physican. Not sure where you are, but there are health departments here in the US. It is based on your income, mostly free services. Explain to them your concerns and if htey can not help you, maybe can lead you to some help. FInding lumps are scarry.....its better to be safe than sorry. Don't allow this to go on any longer! Take better care of yourself!
