I'm 24 and I have a dime sized, painful lump on the left side of my head, about mid ear and 3 in over. I think it's why I've been having headaches for the past few days. It's not red or pink at all, but it's painful to the touch- feels like intense pressure even when touched lightly. I had another lump, smaller, several weeks ago on the top of my head which went away after a couple of days- it was also painful to touch. Is this something I should worry about?
