Could Tender Soft Lump On Forehead Of A Child Be A Matter Of Concern?

My 2yr old fell and hit his forehead on the ground. It s swelling and is very tender and soft to the touch. He has no symptoms of it hurting and is playing and laughing as normal. Should I be concerned that it is very tender and soft to the touch on his forehead?
