Lymphoma does not usually present in this manner, I believe you meant to say, could a lump on my back be a lipoma (benign fatty tumor). The above is true, but would like to add that fatty lumps (even hard lumps) are not always cancerous. ANY LUMP should be seen by your doctor so get in there ASAP. It will put your mind at rest.

What king of doctor should you go see to do a full check from head to toes.i feel like i have a lump on the back of my head?

For a lump on the back of your head you could see a dermatologist (skin doctor) or oncologist (cancer specialist), or possibly an endocrinologist (if the lump has a hormonal cause). For a lump in the back of your head, you could see a neurologist.A general practitioner / family doctor will be able to give you a "top to toe" check up and see if there's anything you need to be referred for.
