What To Do If A Child Has Lumps Beneath The Indent On Forehead After Bumping Into The Door?

My two year old banged the centre of her forehead from a door opening towards her which knocked her onto her feet. An egg shape formed and popped out followed by bruising which lasted two weeks and has just started to subside however, there now appears to be a indent and two tiny lumps underneath. Is there anything to worry about and will the indent disappear? My daughter cried at the time and said her head hurt but is her normal self now,

Hi,
It seems that there might be having infection over the injured site giving indent soreness.
Clean the part and apply antibiotic cream.
In my opinion one course of antibiotic will help much to cure infection otherwise there is likely of having minor scar on the site.
Go for proper cleaning and dressing.
Ok and take care.
