What Could Be The Reason For A Bump On The Head Near Temple , Which Is About The Size Of A Quater ?
My 2 yr old son has had a bump on his head near his temple for 3 months now. It is about the size of a quarter. It doesn't really bother him unless you keep on touching it. It hasn't changed in size but I am just worried because it hasn't gone away. When I called the nurse after it was there for over a month she asked the doctor and he said it could be a bone bruise and to just keep and eye on it and let them know if it changes in size.

Hi and welcome to HCM.
Well it can be any subcutaneous mostly benign lesions such as lipoma,fibroma or cyst. If there is no rapid growth or pain you hsould not be worried,you can do ultrasoud if there is any concerns or it can be surgically managed and sent to patohystologic analysis.
Thanks for the query. Wish you good health. Regards
