Any new "lumps" on your body are never normal and should be evaluated by a medical professional for diagnosis and treatment. It may be nothing. It may be a cyst, or it may be something more serious. Please contact a health professional immediately. ~ T

a lump on your neck can be anything from harmless cysts to cancer, which mine was. it wasn't painful and had been there two weeks get it checked out asap, especially if you notice any other lumps in and around groin or armpits as this is a sure sign for lymphatic cancer, either Hodgkin's lymphoma or nonhodgkins lymphoma.

If you are referring to the bone at the base of your skull where your skull meets your first vertabrae then it is called the occipital bone or atlas.

If you have bumped the back of your head and it hurts you should probably get it checked out by a physician. I would recommend doing a quick WebMD search or speak with your physician if you have any medical concerns...

What are the benefits of wearing a bump cap?

Bump caps are, for all practical purposes, a 'lightweight' form of hard hat (they are NOT hardhats and are not designed to protect the head like a hard hat). In situations where a regulation hardhat is not needed, bump caps can provide some head protection while offering a much more comfortable fit and superior ventilation. Because bump caps weigh less than their heavy duty counterparts, people with back or shoulder problems may prefer to wear them.
