If you woke up with a large bump on your head, you need to keep a close watch on it. It could be a pimple or possibly an insect bite.
== == No need for surgery. The swelling is simply fluid and it will go down on it;s own, in time . Try not to do that again, OK ?
It depends on the size of the bump. There's no general time for a bump to go away, since that depends on a lot of factors that differ from person to person. On the other hand, if it's been there for months, I'd see a doctor as soon as possible.
A large bump on the back of your head/ear could be anything. If you are having dizziness and headaches, you will need to go to a doctor. They can do a biopsy on the bump to get a diagnoses.
Doctors need to check if you are ready for surgery. The head doctor is the person who decided if a person can have a surgery but the patient or whoever has power of attorney makes the final decision.
Oral maxillofacial surgery is often needed to treat diseases and injuries to the head, neck, face and jaw. One might need this type of surgery if they have neck cancer, for example.
I'm digitally palpating my occipital region, I suppose. I can't imagine having the need to say that in medical terms.
You cannot make a bump go down fast, but putting ice on it right away may help it not to become really large. Once it is formed, it will need to go down naturally, but continuing to put ice on it for 20 minutes or so a few times a day could help.
My Bugdie had a big red bump on its back. We had to put it down.
