It is cephalhematoma. It reduces by itself over some weeks. No need to worry.  You told already some part is removed. So it should not cause any problems. Only thing is you should look for any jaundice because of this blood clot. Some times it may take 3 months to totally resolve. Hope this helps.
Next Steps
If any new symptoms meet your pediatrician.
