What could lumps on back of head in infants suggest?
Patient: I have an 18 month old who has been actively playing all day. He runs into things, trips over things, and falls down all the time (as normal 1 1/2 year olds do!) But I just noticed a lump on the back top of his head! I was a little concerned and my husband said since he s still acting normal to wait a while and see if it goes down... he has a regularly scheduled dr. appointment tomorrow morning, would it be okay to wait and see how it is by then? Doctor: Your child must have suffered trauma over the back of head. It appears to be blood collected ( haematoma ) . Nothing to worry. It will resolve.Consult your doctor as per fixed appointment.
