Brief Answer:
No need to worry.

Detailed Answer:
Hello and thanks for using HCM.

I have read your question and understand your concerns.

Since all that time passed and no other symptoms related to head injury were present, a small lump is not a cause of concern.

It should resolve by itself with time.

Hope this helps. Feel free to ask further.

Kind Regards.
