Should I Be Concerned For A Small Injury On My Child S Head At The Site Of Lump?

Hi, i just noticed yesterday my one year old son has a small moveable lump, smaller than a pea, on his forehead. He bumped his head in roughly the same area about two weeks ago and had quite a bruise- I am not sure if this would be related. Should I be concerned?

Thanks for asking in healthcaremagic forum
I understand your concern. Usually a movable lump is caused by lipoma which is harmless.
Injury if has caused only bruise, will heal on its own. If not please consult your doctor for examination.
All the best.
