Hi
Welcome to hcm.
First thing is that it has nothing to do with fall in childhood. Mostly it it Is a sebaceous cyst which requires complete excision surgically. Incomplete removal by pressing it will cause recurrence. So see your surgeon for it's removal. It is not very serious problem so don't worry.
