Hi there, as you had fall 2 weeks back and I suppose you are not having neurological issues like one sided weakness, giddiness, prolonged headache etc, so CT scan is not necessary as per information provided by you. And about your lump , suppose after fall if there is any local subcutneous bleed swelling (lump) will occur, it will be prominent if any bone present behind the swelling., it will take sometime to comedown, if its not coming down consult your doctor. For any such kind of queries you can ask me. Thank you.
