Hi all,
I hope someone can help as going out of my mind with worry.
My son had a craniomothy 3 years ago after a having a subdural heamorrage.
He recovered well and there have been no problems since.
He is nearly 4 now and 5 weeks ago jumped up to give my husband a hug and crashed into his chin with the top of his head.
Thought nothing of it, son wasn't upset and we went off to a theme park for the day but that night when we washed his hair found a lump ( rock hard ) about the size of a 50p.
It's been going down slowly but 5 weeks on is still there, say the size of a 5p.
It's so hard it feels like bone rather than a swelling.
I saw the doctor last week who wasn't concerned in the slightest, probably hameatoma and nothing to worry about.
So I took that and went home however last night was feeling the bump again and as I moved my hand down I felt a ridge just above the ear, If you push quite hard it almost feels like there's a dent between the skull bone ( which from my research is impossible )
None of this is causing any pain to him and I've never noticed it before however never been looking this in depth so I'm not sure if this is a dent from the surgery or if this bump I foun weeks ago wasn't actually from this clash at all and they are both linked in some way but I have no idea what way?
Doctor not in until Tuesday, very confused,
Can anyone shed any light?
