Since it has been 3 years it certainly is not life threatening. And even if they are life threatening usually no correlation with superficial bumps, the danger lies in the brain which is inside the skull, even if injured produces no bumps.
I still think that you should have a look by a doctor at that bump since it is persistent, perhaps an ultrasound to check its content, but certainly not a medical emergency.
