Highly unlikely.: Unless you caused a laceration deep enough to damage hair follicles (which seems unlikely since you say there isn't even a bruise), you won't lose any hair. Or if you do, it will grow back. Just be more careful when you stand up!

I have 3 bumps on my scalp that feel hard and slightly tender. Ive removed them twice before in different places and after both times it was non cancerous and the doctors said it was fat build from the way my hair grows thus blocking the follicles?

Slight hit to the side of the head. No visual bruise, no bump. No symptoms. The area is just sore. How long will the soreness last?

I hit my head pretty hard yesterday trying to stand up too quick underneath my staircase. Top/middle to the left of my scalp. No bump, very tender & sore. Went to bed with a headache and still have a pretty good headache today. Does this sound normal?
