Question: I usually have this lump from time to time at the back of my head maybe after a few days of barbing and when I use anti inflammatory creams it usually disappears This instance though it seems I scratched the lump so it might actually be open but Ive been applying the cream for about two days nonetheless but it seems to be getting bigger what do I do Is it possible that the lump is broken and the  cause of this
Answer: Hi Pelumi 

Theres no reason you should be getting lumps or bumps every time you get a haircut It is possible you get a reaction to something used while cutting your hair or even the clippers I hope you own the clippers used and you dont share with others 

That being said I will advise you to discontinue the antiinflammatory cream since its not working and especially now that the skin is broken 
Please have the open wound looked at by a medical practitioner to be cleaned and dressed so as to prevent deteriorating 

Meanwhile you can chat with a doctor here and share pictures of the lumpsore for more appropriate advice 

Cheers
