I'm not a doctor so if you need one you should consult one, but I have always heard that a risen lump on the head is better than an indented one. I believe this is because if it is risen the swelling is on the outside and not the inside of the head.

What is the treatment for lump caused by under a bruise?
A contusion, or bruise, occurs when small capillaries leak blood into tissue under the skin. To stop bleeding, the body sends platelets to "clot" the blood. This small clot acts like a door so the capillary won't leak more. As the capillary heals, the lump goes away. As the body reabsorbs blood from the tissues, the bruise heals. For the first 48-72 hours, you can use ice, 10-15 minutes on, then off... several times a day. Then, switch to moist heat, such as a warm washcloth.

Why if you get hit in the forehead you get a lump not a bruise like you would on your arm?
It is called a bruise or contusion, and is caused by blood vessels bursting under the skin due to the impact, forming a bulge. They happen more easily on the head because there is less padding, the vessels are pushed against the skull on impact, with little subcutaneous fat or other tissues in the way. This is the reason why they are also more prominent, with the bone directly behind them, they can't do anything except bulge outwards. A thigh bruise on the other hand has soft tissues to push against inside the leg.
