Fluid Filled Lump On Scalp, Irregular In Shape, Headache, Sleeping More. Any Ideas?

I have what seems to b a fluid filled lump on my scalp. Yesterday it was on my scalp in the crown area. This morning it was gone. And my head started hurting about 4 hours ago and now the lump is by my occipital none. It is irregular in shape and I have had some dizziness and have been sleeping a lot more than usual. This has been going on for 3 days. I have no pain other than a headache. I'm a little freaked out and not sure ewhay is causing this. Thanks for any help!

General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi ! From the history of yours it seems that you may be having some kind of hematoma of the scalp may be due to a trivial injury which you might not be aware of. If the problem of sleepiness and dizziness persists, then I would suggest you to get yourself examined by your family physician/surgeon, who may advise a CT scan of brain for planning further management. Wishing you an early recovery.
