What The Cause And Treatment For Hard Bump In The Head?

Hi, I was in a roll-over car accident about a month and a half ago, and I did not have any injuries. However, today I noticed a small, hard bump on my head, close to my forehead but under hair. It is itchy and does not hurt when I touch it but I was just wondering if you think this has any correlation.

Hi and welcome to HCm. Thanks for the query.
It sounds like this could be posttraumatic fibroma and this is common after hitting. it can pass spontaneously in few months but also it can persist. it can be surgically removed under local anasthesia so consult your surgeon about it.
Wish you good health. Regards
