“I have a bump on my head from a fall?”
I had a CT scan for a bump on my head, all was ok. That was two weeks ago, bump is still there, size of a quarter, it’s started to get very tender again. Do I need a second CT scan? I am on Warfarin.

See a clinician to assess if what you are talking about is a hematoma from a fall (and being on Warfarin) or some other mass. The clinician will determine if the mass is merely superficial to the bone or crossing the bone from clinical exam and the CT that has already been taken. Once a clinician decides what the concern is, then the type of imaging exam needed can be determined.
