What Is The Bump On The Forehead?
My 14 month old son has a bump on his forehead towards the top of his head that also goes slightly into his hair line. it feels like a bump where the bones came together. Is this normal? I have a 4 yr old daughter and the top of her head is smooth like the bones grew together even. my sons feels different.

Hi, thanks for using healthcare magic
It would be considered normal if he had a history of recent head trauma and the bump occurred as a result of this.
If it is a long standing mass, however, then, it may need further evaluation to determine what it is exactly.
It is likely nothing serious but your doctor would be able to determine the exact nature on examination.
I hope this helps
