Sore spot on back top of head

[Carols511]

I hav had lumps on the back of my head, one towards the right side of my head on the top and the other on the right very bottem since ,i dont know when tht started i found one when i was itching my scalp and the other one i found rubbing the top part of my neck close to my head ,  but anyways last night all of a sudden i get this weird, tight feeling pinch on the back of my head and the pain kinda tingled down to my fingers, in a way. -its very hard to explain...  The pain wasnt on or near the two lumps on my head. I remeber having the same pain aboout a month and a half ago around the same spot. But it scared me so much bcuz i am hypochondriac and im only 13 so i didnt know what was gonna happen. When we went to the docters office about 5weeks ago, i was complaining about something else at the time, having panic attacks so she took some blood out of my arm to see if my thighroid was messed up bcuz all this stuff and after i asked about the lump on my head ,bcause i only had found one of them at the time, she said that it felt like a bone so it was most likely my skull and something was wrong like it had inflammed or something and tht it would go away in like 12 weeks or 27?- i didnt really hear what she said. But anyways; back to topic, when they called us bck the next day they said everything was fine.- but when i complained to my mom about my head last night and how scared i was she was trying to calm me down and was telling me everything was fine and if something was messed up it would hav showed up on my blood test... - if the docters were looking for my thighroid level, could they have seen anything else messed up on the same blood test even though they were looking for something totally different??? I was just curious because if they only saw one thing i didnt want something totally differnt to be really messed up and they wernt looking for it.... So that freaked me out. .. Now My head hurts in the spot were my head pinched up (exspecially when i think about it) its like its sore? AND i have never hit my head to cause any of these things.   ... Im a very social girl and i love to hangout with friends and have a good time, ppl tell me im very fun to be around; im just starting out to b a teenager and i want to go out and do stuff with my friends, its just tht everytime something like this happens to me, its in a period of time when i feel i am most normal and im happy. Bcu i am a hypochondriac and i hav had really bad panic attacks about stupid stuff i dwell on that isnt even serious. I have bad health anxiety, and when this stuff, like about my head comes to me it freaks me out and i with think about and i wont stop untill i know what is really wrong with me. Or there doesnt hav to be anything wrong with me and i feel perfectly fine and happy, but then something like this happens again and it gets me all worked up about it!! It seems like my body doesnt want me to be happy and live a normal life. There always seems to b something wrong with me when there really isnt so i jus try and get everything confirmed that there isnt. I just want to be a happy person. :)  .... The end. ...

Hi!
I can understand your anxiety. However, the pain that you explain is probably due to tense muscles and pinched nerves caused by long computer use, wrong posture, prolonged reading in one position etc. This will respond to maintaining correct posture, have someone gently massage your neck and upper back, apply a pain relief ointment or gel, and exercising your neck and upper back.
Itch and lumps in skull could be due to dandruff. You can use anti-dandruff shampoos and oils (for massaging). If the lumps are painful then yes, it can be a boil/in-grown hair. If the problem persists, consult a skin specialist. Take care!

My mom also thinks it could be an ingrown hair or pimple on my scalp
