Will The Indent Seen In The Middle Of The Bump Caused By A Hit Remain As A Permanent Mark?
My toddler (22 mos. At the time)hit her head on the corner of the coffee table. She had a huge bump with an indent in the middle of the bump. The bumped healed after a week but its been 2 months and she still has a dent about an Inch long on her forehead. Is it permenant? Why has this happened?

Hi...sometimes this can happen when the upper table of the skull bone is indented and this any remain like that. But this can be told with 100% surety only after a physician palpates the area and confirms the indentation is from the bone. The other option is a CT scan of the skull with 3D reconstruction imaging of the skull. I suggest you consult with your pediatrician regarding this. Regards - Dr. Sumanth
