ds (21mo) has a lump on his forehead which isn't going down

[franke]

He fell and knocked his forehead on Friday. He's fine in himself - I have no worries about concussion or anything. But the lump, right in the middle of his forehead, looks really alarming. I suppose it's smaller in overall area than it was but has become quite prone and tight. Is there anything I can/should do?

Arnica cream from a chemist - brilliant stuff - takes the swelling down and brings out the bruise

Thanks heliinher - will it still work days later though?

It's a bit like comedy bump from a Tom & Jerry cartoon. I don't even know what's in a bump - is it just fluid?

Yes, its a natural homeopathic cream can be used at all stages of a knock usually works best within the first hour though - best to put on when they are asleep and rub in completely so they dont wriggle and get into their eyes...

My dd1 still has a slightly bumpy forehead from a bump two years ago, the bump itself was huge (egg size) and never went down completely.

Second arnica cream.
