Hi everyone, about 4 weeks ago my 17 month old DD had a nasty tumble and her cheek hit the corner of our coffee table creating a very large bruise. She seemed fine after a few minutes of crying so I didnt think anything of it. Yet as the bruising has subsided Ive noticed that a hard lump has appreared under the skin at the point of impact and this has caused her to have a one sided dimple when she smiles as the skin is now contorted around this lump. I hate to think that her face is disfigured for life now. Can anyone else whose been through this post up any advice please. I've googled the issue and I'm not the only person who this has happened to, but nobody seems to give a definitive answer as to wether the lump is permenant scar tissue under the skin or if it will go with time.
TIA
