Exam needed: The original lump was most likely a blood collection(hematoma)under the skin of the scalp. It receded but now the new swelling could indicate rebleeding, infection, new ingrown hair or cyst. Since it's painful or tender, it should be evaluated and treated by a physician. Apply warm moist compresses until you are examined.
