Suggest Treatment For Fluid Filled Bump On Back Of Head

My dad said he hit his head on the garage door, now he has a quarter size, soft fluid filled bump on the back of his head, no hair on that spot, pink in color. He refuses to get checked out..it has been 2 weeks. What could this be? Should we be worried?
