Bruises (contusions)
Bruises are formed when an impact on the skin breaks capillaries and causes bleeding into skin tissue while the skin does not break. Bruises change color over time as the body begins to heal itself. In most cases, it takes a bruise about 2 weeks to repair itself.

Child Abuse laws differ from jurisdiction to jurisdiction; however, I find it very unlikely that there's any statute that specifically states, "leave bruises on your child for more than 24 hours".
Most statutes state something similar to "The child is free from cruel and unusual punishment from the parent or guardian". Generally, if you're leaving serious bruises, the child probably IS being subjected to cruel and unusual punishment.

No. A bruise is a collection of blood under the skin. The only thing that will get rid of it is time. The blood has to reabsorb into the body.

I am not a doctor but a few things I thought of is migraine headaches and high blood pressure. These can cause pain at the back of the head. If neither applies I would certainly ask my primary care physician to see a Neurologist or, at least, an opthomologist to see if he/she can determine if there is something that can be detected in the eye. A neurologist might suggest an MRI to see if there are any tumors or aneurysm. That is extreme but I certainly wouldn't ignore these painful bumps.
