Child Bruised. Had A Dent And Dimple Close By. Permanent? Cure Available?
Hi. My son fell and hit his cheek on a table a few weeks ago and still has a bruise . When he smiles, he now has a dent/dimple right where the bruise is, which he never had before. There is also a small lump under the skin by the bruise. Is there a cure for this? Is this permanent? What kind of pediatric specialist should I take him to see?
Hi due to trauma,bruise might have formed. the small lump could be a hematoma , collection of blood. It is not permanent. It will come down gradually. dimpling may also come down. You should consult a paediatric surgeon for treatment and follow up. wish him speedy recovery. Regards
