What Causes Bump On Head Of A Child?

My 2 year old son hit his head on on the corner of our dining room table 3 months ago. We iced it for as long as he could tolerate it. He had a little bump and was bruised for a few days. But now 3 months later he still has a small bump or more like a ridge. Is this something that I should be concerned about?

HI,Dear,Welcome to HCM.
Based on the facts and data of your query,You seems to be having Resolved Hematoma,caused by hit to head by corner of Dining room 3 mths ago.
This bump ridge is due to the fibrous healing of the hematoma after the trauma and would resolve in next 3-5 mths time completely.
Nothing to worry other wise as its not a Cancer for sure.
USG study of the lump if need be or FNAC biopsy would rule out the fear from lump being Cancer.

Hope this reply would help you to resolve your sever anxiety.
Welcome for any further query in this regard

Will appreciate writing your feedback review comments,to help the needy patients like you at HCM.
