Hello!

Welcome on Healthcaremagic!

Your symptoms are not indicative of any serious medical disorder, considering such long time after the head trauma. The knot could be related to chronic changes in this region of the scull, probably due to inflammation at that time.
But, there is nothing to worry about.
I would not recommend any treatment.

Hope you will find this answer helpful!
Wishing all the best, Dr. Aida
