When I was a young age, I had got hit by board swing seat.
I had 2 car accident before, but I did not go to see the doctor.
If I don't touch , I did not feel the pain.
I am not diabetes ,not in hypertension or any other illness.
I am not taking any medication. Only 1 pain killer on Thursday.

Brief Answer:
Most probably sebaceous cyst
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thank you for getting back with the answers. Most probable cause in this case could be sebaceous cyst. it is a benign disease of scalp. I would suggest you to visit hospital and get an appointment for a general surgeon. He will examine it and may advise ultrasound of the swelling. Further management will depend on test result & examination.
