I have an eight month old daughter who has a lump on her skull on the back of her head that is hard and doesn't move. what is it?

Lump: Three possibilities of the top would be: lipoma (a fatty tumor), oteoma (a bony tumor) or tinea capitis(a fungal ball). I would have your pediatrician take a look.
