Hi,
Thank you for asking question on health care magic.
Cephalhematoma occurs during normal delivery of the babies.
It is due to hemorrhage under the pericranium and skull bone.
usually occurs over the prietal and occipital bones.
It gradully subsides of its own within few months.
No treatment required.
Hope this answer will serve your purpose
