Suggest Remedies For Calcified Hematoma In A Newborn
My son was born with a hematoma because he was facing up. Until recently it was soft. A couple of days ago I noticed it was not as soft, as if it is calcifying. I read that people have used arnica gel on their newborns and has been successful. I was wondering if it could have the same effect on a calcified hematoma....

Hematoma usually goes away with time. Before i starts resolving it may get firm to touch as the blood inside the hematoma is getting replaced with tissue. So whwt you feel like calcification, may not be calcification at all. Just give some time it will go away. Do not message it.
