About three years ago I got hit on the back of the head with an apple yes it seems silly but it s true. A girl threw at the back of my head and it hurt,but now three years later I have a bump right on the back. Why would this be? If it s a tumor then I gess I just answered my own question because it most likely is one.

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
It may be fibroid tissue. This is scar tissue that forms as a result of trauma.
It can be in the form of a hard lump that can take a few months to years to resolve.
A malignant tumor of the skin in this area is not likely.
You can go to your doctor for an assessment so that he or she can take a look and tell you the likely cause.
I hope this helps
