9 Year Old, Fluid Retention On Forehead. Reason?

Hi, my 9 year old daughter has fulid retention on her forehead. If I look at it from the side, I can almost see an ouline of oval shape fluid pocket, but her entire forehead seems mushy. I noticed it about 2 months ago and brought her to the pediatrician, she thought it was caused bya little scratch on her forehead. I am not sure what it is, any thoughts
