 Hello,
It will be more helpful if you can inform us about the onset (is it recent), the course (is it increasing in size), any associated symptoms (painful, headache etc), if there is any other similar swellings else where and any personal or family history of certain diseases.
If it is not a recent change and you just discovered it after a hair cut, then it could be your normal skull shape.
It is of consideration if there is a recent change and there is any associated symptom and sign suggestive of a pathological cause like pain and tenderness.
It is advisable to contact your doctor; he may recommend an X-ray skull to better define the nature of this swelling and to decide further management.
Best regards,
Keep us updated.
