What Causes A Bump On The Forehead After An Injury?

My baby at 5w fell and bumped his head. He had a small bump which later bruised. He was cleared of any serious injury, just had the bump. He is now between 9-10 weeks and the bruise is still slightly visible, only barely. But he has a small flat area where he bumped his head. Is that normal?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.

I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

As such the condition of bump is fine and you need not worry about it. It will disappear as he grows. Skin on the face is very thin so soft tissue injury lead to visible bruises. There is no need not worry about it.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
