Hello. My husband awoke a few days ago with a large (about 1.5"), hard, somewhat red, lump on the back of his head (near the center & top). He said it is painful to the touch & looks somewhat like a knot you get when bumping your head (he has not bumped his head). It seems to stick out farther than a bump on the head.
He has an appointment next week, but we are really nervous as to what this may be.
My husband suffered a subdural hematoma 25 years ago & suffers from permanent brain damage. He has several plates in his skull (they are all near the right temple & forehead though & not in the back).
He is a 37 year old, non smoking male.

 Hi Luvswhalz,
This bump may be a lymph node that has become infected. It may also be a pore or hair follicle that has become infected.
Seeing his doctor is important as he may need antibiotics to help this clear up.
Best wishes.
