[|Human|] I just discovered lumps on the back of my head. They did not hurt initally, however now after 5 days they are getting painful when i touch them. I am also feeling numbness and tingling on my head. My doctor thinks they may be cysts and has given me an antibiotic. If not cleared up in 2 weeks or becomes painful I should go back. I am just wondering what you think it may be. Both areas are on the left side of the head. one on the back side and one on the top left side of head almost like an L shape.
[|AI|]  Hi! Good evening. I am Chat Doctor answering your query. Yes, possibly your doctor was right in labeling them as cysts. In the starting, they were not painful, but these got secondarily infected later on giving rise to the pain. These could subside with antibiotics, but could recurrently get infected. Therefore, I would advise you to get these assessed by a general surgeon and get these removed once the infective phase was over on consuming the antibiotic and anti-inflammatory Chat Doctor. I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts. Thanks for choosing Chat Doctor to clear doubts on your health problems. I wish you an early recovery. Chat Doctor.
