Suggest Treatment For Tender Bruised Spot On Back Of Skull?

Hi,

I fell and hit my head on concrete stairs about two months ago and the spot is still tender to touch. I know I had slight memory problems the next day but because I fell due to my own stupidity, I did not want to go to the doctor. The tender spot is on the back left side of my skull and still hurts to touch. Is it just a bruise or something more serious?
