What Causes Squishy Lump On The Head Of A Child?

My son hit his head falling from a picnic table. He cried for a minute I looked and there was no marks he went right back to play. Today I washed his hair and noticed a squishy bump. It doesnt bother him at all. I was just curious what this means I havent ever seen this before.

General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hello.

If your son had no symptoms like loss of consciousness, nose bleeds, blurry vision, etc; there is no real cause for concern. The bump should subside on its own, but I would still recommend a visit to his doctor for a physical examination.

Best wishes
