What Causes Overnight Appearance Of A Knot On The Head?

Every few weeks, I'll wake up with a knot on the right side of my head. It's very sensitive to the touch and it usually goes away in about 2 weeks. It feels and looks like I banged my head on something, but it always appears overnight. The worse one went from a bump/knot to a bruise that scabbed up, They're usually no bigger than a quarter. Should I make an appointment to see a professional about this?
