Q: throbbing headaches

Several days ago I got this bump on lower left side of the back of my head. I thought I had just hit my head on something and forgotten. But it's gotten bigger and more painful each day. The skin around it is normal. It's big, swollen, and tender.

Anybody have any ideas? Thanks.

Maybe lymph nodes --- which swell when you are fighting off infection. Have you seen your GP?
