Hello,
I had gone through your query and understand your concern.
There is nothing to worry if soft tissue swelling is not increasing in size and there is no pain. However, a swelling on head may look bad and make your son to feel bad.
If this is your concern then I suggest you to consult a general surgeon who can examine the swelling and may plan for its removal.
If you have any further questions, feel free to ask.
Regards,
Dr. Prathap Kumar
