What does it look like? Is it discolored? Where on his head is it? How old is your son? When did you notice it?

Thanks in advance.

Hi

It could be several things. If it is on the back of his head near his neck it could be a swollen lymph node. On the front or top of his head, he may have bumped into something.

If he is running a fever, or it is bothering him, I'd have him checked. If it isn't better soon, have him checked too.
