Highly unlikely: You had you head bumped. Likely local bruise or hematoma over your scalp. This is likely a minor issue. BUT, since you seem concerned about a "brain bleed", you certainly should reassure yourself and interact with your regular doctor.

What are the symptoms of brain bleeding? Are headaches, ringing ears, red eye related? (I was in a car accident didn't hit my head,just back&forth)

Would a brain tumor headache make your head sore to touch when pressed? Feel tender spots and intermittent pain in back of head on one side, sometimes goes up to ear and temple. Going on for a year several times a month. Normal neuro exam but no MRI
