Bump on back of head
Mon, 12/18/2006 - 10:08I have developed a bump on the back of my head, at the base of my skull on my right side. I noticed it this morning while washing my hair. It is a little tender to the touch. It is about the size of a quarter. I am currently on lamictal and keppra for grand mal seizures. Should I contact the dr.? I haven't had any trauma to the head, so don't know what could be causing this. Any help is appreciated.

hi I know you put this thread in a while ago but would you mind please letting me know what you did about the bump you found at the base of your skull? Did you go to the doctor? And if so, would you mind telling me what the outcome was? I'm asking because yesterday I have discovered a bump at the base of my skull too but in the middle and it is tender to touch and dont know why it's there. I'm taking Tegretol Retard and Topamax daily. I would appreciate very much if you could get back to me on this. Many thanks in advance, Quirky
