What Does Hyperechoic Lesion Closely Related To Skull Bone On USG Suggest?

Hi, I hit my head last year October and some time this year I began to feel a lump/elevation on my head where I got the hit. I have been given Fucicort and painkillers( because I do feel pain at times) Having been told my three doctors that I should not worry and its nothing of a big deal I still feel the pain and occasionally the elevation reappears. I intsisted on doing some test to see what the problem might be and having done an ultrasound the results came back as hyperechoic lesion closely related to skull bone...... Now, I m being asked to do a CT scan. I am worried. What could be the possible outcome? I await your response.
