The Appearance Of A Lump On The Head That Feels Itchy And Painful?

Hi Kawai,

Thank you for asking HealthReplies.com.

The appearance of a lump on the head that feels itchy and painful can indeed be very disturbing, causing the pain to spread almost to all parts of the head. Therefore, it is necessary to clarify first how long has the lump on your head appeared? How big is the lump? Was it preceded by a head injury or application of a certain substance to the head (eg use of hair dye or other)?

Itchy and painful lumps on the head may occur as a result of folliculitis (infection of the hair roots), acne, contact dermatitis (chronic skin inflammation due to contact with allergenic or irritating substances), tumors (eg cysts, lipomas, melanomas), post-injury, and etc.

In addition to the lump, the pain in your head can also occur due to other causes, such as migraine, heat stroke (excess heat exposure), cluster headaches, tension headaches, hypertension (high blood pressure), stress, hypercholesterolemia (high blood cholesterol). , sinusitis (inflammation of the sinus cavity), viral or bacterial infections, head injuries, brain tumors, and so on.

It's better if the complaint really bothers you, check with your doctor right away. That way, you can know whether there is a connection between the lump and the headache you are experiencing. Furthermore, the handling can be done right on target.

In the meantime, try to avoid holding or pressing the lumps that appear too often. Be diligent in bathing and washing your hair and avoid modifying your hair too often. Relieve your headache by taking paracetamol while getting plenty of rest, eating regularly, avoiding too much heat, avoiding stress, limiting caffeine, and staying away from cigarettes and alcohol.

Hope it helps ya..
