A member asked:
I have a painful soft lump the size of a silver dollar on the back of my head after a fall. should i be concerned?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Maybe, maybe not...: If this is within the first few days after the fall and you have no other symptoms like dizziness, etc. It may just be a hematoma (collection of blood under the scalp) assuming that you struck that area in your fall. If that is what it is, it should slowly go away in a matter of days.
