The pictures are not clear. Still did you find the lump once you shaved the head or otherwise did you notice?. Any jaundice or yellowish colour in eyes? What delivery? Ceaserian or normal.? The lump has to be examined Please show nearby pediatrician.

from the picture it appears to be a cephalhematoma ( swelling occurring in layers of the scalp due to long labour )
it will settle in a few weeks. it is very soft to touch and does not cause the baby any harm or pain.
