My sister had a cyst on her scalp that got quite large before she finally went to the doctor to have it removed. They did the surgery as outpatient and she came home with some stitches. It was luckily benign, but it did leave a crater in her scalp that took a while to fill in and for the hair to grow back. The bandage right after the surgery was larger than she expected, but it did heal and she was glad it was gone. She had the same issue of it being painful when she touched it.
Fingers crossed for you!! And you're right, there's always something.
