Since you are having headaches and eye pain I would recommend that you be seen to let them look at the lump so they can determine the cause behind it and determine if it could be responsible for the headaches and eye pain you are experiencing. It could be a cyst or a boil that is forming but with the other symptoms you are experiencing it would be better to have it looked at. If the headaches and eye pain are new in relation to the bump then it makes it even more important that you go ahead and have it looked at.

It could either be a cyst as I said above or even a tumor. There can be many reasons for a lump like this but with it causing headaches it could even be associated with some possible nerve or muscle damage. Since the possiblities are so many that is why sometimes I will advise being seen as not to overwhelm anyone with too many possibilties, I just feel with the headaches and eye pain you are now having it is best to be seen for a full examination.
