What is the dent and tenderness in head after an injury?
Patient: My 2 year old fell and hit heard head on upper side of forehead it caused a little swelling and dent ever since that day I put a lot of ice on that area it was about a week ago will that area heal and the dent go away? when she looks up I can still see the dent and a tender bump Doctor: 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.
