So i found a bump on the side of my head about the suze of a really small pea the other day. It felt like a pimple but it feels like its underneath my skin. Whenever I touched it even a little bit it would hurt alot! So I ignored it and it went away. However now its on the back of my head and it still hurts alot to tounch it and its feels hard almost like its a bone. I dont know if this is related but it when I take a shower lately everytime i pull at my head around 3-5 hairs fall out every time. Its only when my hair is wet though.

Really honestly can't say. As always, when someone asks for medical help here, I just say call your doctor or a nurse line.

The small lump could be anything from an ingrown hair that's gotten infected, to a small collection of fat cells that can collect creating a raised, calcified growth (the name escapes me), but they are benign and generally arise from poor vitamin intake. The hair - does Male Pattern Baldness affect the men in your family? I guess if anyone pulls their hair some's gonna come out...

If you're really that worried about it, I would go to a physician, instead of asking a board at a gaming website.

It's pretty normal to lose some hair every single day. But that lump... I'd get it checked out. It's your head and that's sorta an important part of the body. Sorta.

Umm I'm no doctor but it sounds like you should go see one...bumps like that could be a number of things...I don't believe any are too serious...you might have a parasite that burrows deep in the skin and lays it's eggs...It reminds me of this episode I watched on The Animal Planet called Monsters inside me...some dude had a bug that layed eggs beneath his skin, and created bumps on his head and back of his neck...

The flash-blinding of the last girl to see my ass is a good sign I am not The President.

Don't tell him that. You have no idea what it is. Could be a brain eating slug slowly moving its way up to his brain for all you know.

hair naturally falls out about 60 strands a day. as for your lump, I got one of those from an ingrown, infected hair follicle. I had to pop it, it smelled repulsive, and there was more pus than I'd ever seen in my life. and it hurt like hell. GL though, hope you don't have what I did.

You came to ask us before you ask a doctor? I suggest that you should so to a walk in clinic!
