What Causes A Lump At The Site Of Head Trauma In A Child?
My 2 year old son had a recent head trauma two months ago. He bumpbed his quite hard on the edge of his rocking horse. As a result, he ended up getting a large bump on his eyebrow. The swelling did decrease in size a lot. However, there still seems to be a recognizable size bump in the same place that s red in color. Could the lump be a result of the injury still. or is something I should be worried about?

Hi,
Usually, there will be hematoma formation and soft tissue swelling. Rarely the bump can persist for a longer time - if the hematoma gets organized or fibroused. If he is otherwise normal.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
