Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi, your concern is the dent, which usually form when the hematoma from the center dissolves first, in all circumstances the rest will also go. but watch if the child shows any symptoms as unconsiousness, vomiting or fits, in that case ER consultation is a must.
Happy healing, and give my love to the child.
