Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted your history of getting hit by a TV remote on the head and developing the lump which has not gone away since 2 years.
This means that the hematoma thus formed got organized and it must have been under the periosteum of the skull bone the the resorption was very slow and got time to get organized.
Ideally nothing can be done as this becomes a part of the underlying done. But can be shaved off if it is in the visible area causing a bad appearance.
You can get a High Resolution CT scan of the area to study the lump and get a decision whether something can be done or not.
I find this answer helpful
