Tender Reddish Bump On The Head After A Fall. Need Immediate Medical Attention?

I fell off a CT scan bench yesterday and hit my head on the cabinet as I hit the floor. The bump on the back of my head is very tender. My daughter says this it is a red bump with many small red dots in that location. Do I need to go to the doctor? I don't think there is anything they can do? Thank you so much. Lynn Cruickshank
