Subgaleal hematoma: You probably have a small subgaleal hematoma. These collections are beneath the muscle layer of the scalp. They may take quite a while to resolve, but are not something to worry about.

Goose egg: You likely bruised your scalp and experienced some subcutaneous bleeding. Unlikely a brain issue. Should clear over next several days.
