Detailed Answer:
Hi.
Thanks for your query, albeit short and specific.
To recapitulate: Male/51 - little swallows on head - soft like water in it on touching - bothering you ...

The most probable reasons are as follows:

- If such a swelling is recurrent and stays for some time, the commonest reasons can be, urticarial rash. This occurs secondary to local histamine release due to some allergy to the body by some known or unknown reasons. Usually disappear on its own or on using antihistamine and/or oral steroids. Can change the spots or areas every time they appear.

- Another reasons can be Hemangioma if it is present over a long time and does not vanish completely, can be compressible but refills immediately on releasing pressure.

Please give me some more details for me to assist you further:

Whether this is temporary or is persisting for a long time?
Any history of trauma?
Any investigations or consultations with a Doctor.
Any other information that you would like to share?

Awaiting your feedback.
