Is a dent on the forehead a matter of concern?
Patient: Hi Ihave a 7 yearsold doughter .she hits hear forehead against wooden table in school 2 weeks ago.when i saw her in the afternoon there was nothing wrong with its head but extremely light bruise that was not clear without close attention.yesterday i suddenly noticed a dent which can be touched more than seen. Is it serious thanks for your attention Doctor: Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.  I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.  First be reassured that your kid is normal.  I will suggest you danger signs of head injury - 1. Vomiting continuously 2. Seizures 3. Watery of bloody discharge from ears and nose 4. Unconsciousness 5. Altered sensorium or behavior. 6. Excessive sleepiness If none of them are present, I don't think you should worry about his trivial head injury.  Best regards -  Dr Sumanth Amperayani
