Hi everyone.
my 22mo had an accident 5 weeks ago and hit her head. She had a big egg on her forehead which rapidly went to a small bump with a bruise and bruising around the eyes.

now the bruises around her eyes have gone but she still had a dark lump on her forehead, looks like a pale bruise but it definitely sticks out and it feels like a line of bone sticking out (best I can describe).

It doesnt seem to cause any pain when its touched but is it this normal 5 weeks on or should I have it checked?

Since she's so young.. it could mean anything from a bruise or a hairline crack there.. i'd get it checked out straightaway as all injuries to the head and face can be serious.

She was checked out at the time at A and E who gave her the all clear but I'll see if I can get her an appointment tomorrow, thanks.
