What Does A Lump Behind The Head Indicate?

My girlfriend noticed a soft spot on the back side of my head where my pony tail usually goes and now her whole family is convinced that when I was little my soft spot never closed. I was reading on line that some of the symptoms are chronic headaches and such. I do get headaches but I thought they were from my pony tail. Should I be concerned?

Most often it might be a lymph node or some dent in the skull. If you don’t have any symptoms, you can very well neglect it. You can consult a physician for reassurance.
