My father has a large lump on the back of his head just above his neck. The whole right side of his head and ?

sounds like a tumor.hopefully benin(not cancer),but it could be malignant

This sounds like a infected hair follicle. Lymph nodes will swell but will not form a head or scab. Try hot moist compresses several times a day. This may help, but he probably needs antibiotics and maybe it might need draining. Either way you need to see a doctor

Im wondering why you cant get him to a dr Im mean it could be a cyst or some other type of infection It hard to tell even if you have no money or are not if you're in the US you can go to a ER and they can help and wont call any authority's many other country's have similar systems and if hes on drug he can go and not get reported Im just guessing not sure whats going on hope I helped

If i were you I would make him go to the doctor, or go to the doctor with pictures and explain how it looks and that it hurts. I am not sure what it could be. But you may want to take precautions with so many people getting tumors these days. Hope my advice helps!

You have to take him to the doctor... this could be very serious! My dad had a similar thing, but his turned out to be an infected cyst. He had to get it removed immediately before the infection spread.

To ease the pain, try putting ice on it. Maybe try neosporin.

only a week and a scab might be shiggles take him to a Doctor it's not good for a man his age. look it up on web they have pictures! Good luck he sounds like my dad. He won't go to doctors either.

It might be some kind of tumor or it could be cancer. It's impossible to diagnose someone based on a description over the internet. Please take him to a doctor.
