Bump: It hasn't changed, and it's from trauma to your skull. That's awfully big. Please have it checked by a doctor, and don't delay. Make sure it isn't something else that's growing. Also it could be benign, and be a sebaceous cyst or lipoma. Either way, you need to have it checked out to find out what it is. Take care.
