Hi,

Welcome to HCM.

Did this appear after a blunt trauma on the head? If yes then the lump on your head may be a hematoma. This will gradually get absorbed and disappear.

Consult a surgeon who will have to examine the lump and determine the cause. He may have to do other investigations to make a diagnosis.

Since it bleeds sometimes, it is better that you consult a surgeon.
