CT scan is the best way to find out about the nature of this prominence, mass. Providing that this is just a bone prominence, correction of deformity would require incision at or just behind the hairline and shaping of the bone with a burr. Although this sounds very dramatic, it is done in twilight anesthesia with minimal recovery. In person or teleconference consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon familiar with this procedure is recommended. Good luck.

Only surgical excision can be offered, and this has to be done in a in the hands of a boarded Plastic surgeon . Regards again best virtual consult with.
