Noticed A Lump On Rear Side Of Head. Same Region Had A Concussion. What Is It And Concerns?
Good evening. About a month ago my husband was rear ended in his car and had pretty bad whiplash. His doctor said he had a concussion (from the back of his head hitting the headrest). Tonight he noticed a good size lump right above his rear on the right side of his head. Do you have any suggestions what this would be? Should he be concerned?

It seems like he had possible small haematoma over the site of injury at the time of accident - it is slowly resolving now given the history of symptoms
If Ultrasound is arranged for this lump it will give a clear idea as to what it is exactly
But it doesn't seem to be anything that you should be extremely concerned about (pending test results)
