What Is The Reason For Lump On Right Side Of Head By The Temple?

I just noticed my four year old has a lump on the right side of his head, in his hair, by his temple. It is firm and red around it. He doesn't seem to be bothered too much when I press down on it, though he absentmindedly says that it hurts if I ask.
What could it be?
