What Causes Bumps Filled With Fluid On Head?

My two year old has what started out as a small bump that looks to be filled with fluid on his head. It seems to get larger and expand along the right side of his head. This is the second time in about a month; the first time we went to the ER. It was x-rayed but nothing is wrong with his skull. He doesn t seem to have any pain associated with the bump and it just went away the first time. What is this called?

Hello and thanks for consulting HCM.

It can be an abbcess.as you said nothing showed in the xray.
If the bumps remains to pop out then i would advice you to visit a pediatrics.

What is the size of the bump.was there any injury.
Some times due to mild injury also causes bumps.

Hope this answer helps.
