My son had a seizure a couple weeks ago and now we have noticed two lumps on his head. the ct scan was normal and didn't show any abnormalities.

Further Eval needed: If this was his first seizure ever, then he needs additional evaluation with a pediatric neurologist. Workup may include an MRI of the brain, EEG or other testing. More than likely, the lumps on his head are the result of the seizure and are related to mild head trauma. I would recommend that he see a pediatric neurologist.

Neurology: I am sure you are relieved that the CT scan was normal. I'm assuming his neurological exam is also normal, hopefully. The bumps on his head could be from a fall during a seizure. It would be prudent to have him seen by a pediatric neurologist to determine the type, cause, and prescribe anticonvulsants, if necessary.
