What Causes Discomfort Dent On Back Of Head Post Injury?

I was hit in the head a couple years ago and the hit caused a cut in the back of my head and I had to get 3 stiches on the lower level and 10 staples on top. After this all healed I now have a dent to up and to the left of where the cut was. This dent does cause discomfort. Should I be worried?

HI
Well come to HCM
This is just nothing to worry, because it is long being gone since the injury happened and right now if the swelling that you have does not cause any pain and discomfort then this is nothing to worry, the swelling may not be due to past history of injury, but I would like to advise to keep this under observation, if anything goes wrong then this need to be clinically examined, have a nice day.
