Is bump on head lasting years after a fall harmful?
Patient: A few years ago my Son was ice skating fell and hit the back of his head. We went to the emergency room, he was released shortly after. They said he didn't suffer a concussion. He was left with a small bump that we thought would go away in time. He eventually forgot about it, but has noticed a bump in the same area. Possibly it never went away, should we be concerned about this? It doesn't hurt to the touch, he doesn't suffer from headaches. Doctor: Hi,Dear Good Evening and thanks for the query to HCM.I studied your query and understood your health concerns.The lump your son had is not harmfull as its not with any concussion then and not painful to touch even now.-Its hard and still there-indicates -that the hematoma formed then has resolved and fibrosed bump without any pain in it.Hope this would resolve your query.Welcome for  any further query in this regard.Plz write a Good Review-without fail,as it would help other patients coming to HCM.With Regards.Dr.Savaskar M.N.
