Infection under the skin at the back of the head.

HI, I'm having a pain in the back of my head. I went to the doctor they said it was a skull infection they also told me there is nothing I could do about it they said that it would go away. So i was wondering if this skull infection was a serious problem

Hi!
Well, if the skull infection was fungal infection such as dandruff then it may not be serious but does definitely need treatment. If it is a bacterial infection then this may spread if left untreated. Hence, you must ask your doctor about the type of infection and seek treatment for the same. Take care!
